River Of Deceit

My pain is self-chosen
 
 At least so the prophet says
 ♪
 I could either burn
 Or cut off my pride and buy some time
 A head full of lies is the weight
 Tied to my waist
 ♪
 The river of deceit pulls down, oh-oh
 
 The only direction we flow is down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 ♪
 My pain is self-chosen
 
 At least I believe it to be
 ♪
 I could either drown
 Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
 Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see
 ♪
 The river of deceit pulls down, yeah
 The only direction we flow is down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 ♪
 The pain is self-chosen, yeah
 Our pain is self-chosen
 ♪
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
 Down, oh down
