Floating Down The River

I have a few things to say

I'll just say what I need to

I have a few years to go

Before I'm floating down the river again



So it appears I'm alive

Hey it's been quite a long time

I've spent a handful of years

Negotiating terms in hospital gowns

If you believe what you read

You'll be dead before night fall

That's why I'm starting again

Without the pages in my head



Do you feel the same?

Trapped beneath the weight of it all



I am attempting to change

After years of destruction

Don't be alarmed I'm still

Stupid, awkward, anxious and a terrible bore

But I'm excited these days

It's the strangest sensation

I only wish I were younger

So I'd have more time to explore



Do you feel the same?

Do you understand?

All the pieces on your skin

Are trapped beneath the weight of it all

Trapped beneath the weight of it all



I have a few things to say

I'll just say what I need to

I have a few years to go

Before I'm floating down the river again



Do you feel the same?

Do you understand?

Every letter in your name

Is trapped beneath the weight of it all

Trapped beneath the weight of it all

Trapped beneath the weight of it all

It all
