Lyrics

The river flows

The movement of life continues.

Dry behind your eyes

You're concealing your emotions; you don't show your sadness outwardly.

From what I know

Based on my understanding or experience.

That’s why you never cry

This is why tears don't come easily for you.


Many years ago, I was told

Recalling advice given in the past.

Never let your

Keep your defenses up.

Guard down always

Remain cautious and protected.

Stay in control

Maintain authority over your actions.

Always listen to your parents, never stray too far from what you know

Follow familiar paths and advice from parents to avoid harm.

Because you’ll get hurt by more than sticks or stones

Warnings about emotional pain beyond physical harm.


My mind is always feeling distant

Feeling detached or distant mentally.

And I don’t know how to feel

An uncertainty about one's emotional state.

Something feels like it is missing

Sensation of something missing.

And I can’t tell what it is

Unable to identify what exactly is absent.


But I can’t run from it

Avoidance isn't a solution.


I’ve been searching for longer

Continued quest or search for a prolonged period.

Then I’ve ever before

Longer than any previous searches.

But this searching's made me stronger

Despite the search, it has contributed to personal strength.

Won’t be searchin' for very much more

No longer seeking extensively.


I see that you won't wait for me

You won't wait for me to catch up.

Cause you act like my time is free

You don't value my time appropriately.

But it's worth much more than you think, you see

My time has more significance than you realize.


But I can’t run from it

Reiterating that avoidance isn't an option.


I can’t run from all of

Unable to escape.

The things that I’m afraid of

Facing fears directly.

You cant hide cause I’ll find all the pieces that you left behind

No matter how much you hide, I'll uncover the remnants of your past actions.


It’s all uncertain

A state of uncertainty prevails.

I can’t find what’s left of my mind.

An inability to find clarity within one's thoughts.
