Rivers In Your Mouth

Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds Yeah, I know, I've been trying so hard To keep in time with all of the hours in your day Hold it in, they wouldn't let you out among the crowd Not like that, these streets will tear you down How it is under my skin Now you are pictures of all you'll ever be Oh, I am not myself Today I am not feeling Okay Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds Yeah, I know, I've been trying so hard To keep in time with all of the sounds that you make Hold it in, they come at you from both sides of your mind Thick and thin, these walls you'll always stand behind I'm sick and tired, oh, I begged for the world to change But it don't, no, it ain't all you and that's the thing Oh, I am not myself today I am not feeling okay And you showed me hope amidst the harlequins in spring And you told me life was learning how to be your friend
