Evergreen

Why do I hold back the raging flood?

Hinder a force so unrelenting

I've built a wall out of repressed emotions

The river must flow

I was grasping on until my hands were broken

Walked so far that I can barely stand

I got stuck too deep within distorted notions

But now I know it's time to heal

Break out from the grey, inhale and dive into the stream

Carry on through the twists and turns, anywhere that it takes thee

Let it wash you clear from all these clouds of vanity

When the tears flow through the roots, they bloom evergreen

The barrier is breaking, it's overdue

For so long I've tried to constrain the current

This depleted state must be renewed

The river must flow

I had craved so much, but all was left unspoken

Self-deceit and shame go hand in hand

I was hanging on to keep this door unopened

But now I know it's time to heal

The river must flow

Constrain, control

But the river must flow

Constrain, control

But the river must flow

Constrain, control

But the river must flow

Constrain, control

But the river must flow

Break out from the grey, inhale and dive into the stream

Carry on through the twists and turns, anywhere that it takes thee

Let it wash you clear from all these clouds of vanity

When the tears flow through the roots, they bloom, bloom evergreen
