After The Devil Beats His Wife

Lyrics

You wanna swim in the river
 I wanna dance in the summer
 You've always been the believer
 I'm always left to wonder
 The water is rushing so fast
 I think it will take us under
 Oh, what thought did you recall
 That would make you say my name?
 The water is so deep
 A friend says "Don't go"
 But my mouth betrays me
 And says "Hold on"
 And now I know
 This is the pain of believing
 (The danger is real)
 And there's no easy way out
 (How did I get here?)
 You trust too much in my bravery
 It's my safety you're taking
 We're gonna drown in the river
 I cannot swim any farther
 My blood is pumping so fast
 My heart and limbs underwater
 And I reach and find your hand in mine
 And they say you will be saved, but no
 I pull and I pull and I pull
 But your foot, it's anchored deep
 Your face tells me you won't be free
 This is the pain of believing
 (The danger is real)
 And there's no easy way out
 (How did I get here?)
 You trust too much in my bravery
 It's my safety you're taking
 I decided long ago
 Never let your loved ones know
 Who you really are, who you really are
 People want the truth but never want the scars
 And now I'm here
 My brethren done
 And I'm the one that's still lying
 And you say it's gonna be okay
 Over and over and over and over and over and over again...
 River wash me clean!
 River wash me clean!
 River wash me clean!
 River -- wash -- me -- clean!
