Lyrics

I caught a glimpse in the corner of my eye

I noticed something briefly in my peripheral vision

I think I knew what I would find

I had a sense of what I would discover

But there’s something else at play

There's another factor influencing the situation

And everything at stake

There's a lot at risk or in jeopardy

And so the river’s calling me away

The river is metaphorically drawing me away, suggesting a change or escape


I’m no saint

I am not a morally perfect person

I’ve no virtue

I lack moral excellence

I wish I could feel that you hurt too

I desire to empathize with your pain, but it's challenging

But it’s so dark I can’t tell god from the devil

The darkness makes it difficult to distinguish between good and evil

I’m just absent

I am emotionally detached or unavailable

More than ever

More emotionally distant than ever


Can’t outrun my head

I cannot escape my thoughts or emotions

So I’ll tell myself

I will convince myself that I have the right to feel this way

I have a right to feel this way

Acceptance of personal emotions and experiences

So I stepped into the maze

I entered a confusing and complicated situation

And all it did was take

It only took from me, causing loss or hardship

And now on long way from all I know

I am far from everything familiar


I give up, admitting defeat or submission

I’m incomplete

I feel incomplete or lacking

I’ve had all I can take

I have reached my limit

So take me in pieces.

I am broken or in disarray
