This river is running dry.... Coming from nothing to less than nothing Burning all bridges, faced with no choices You tore out your eyes 'cause you were bored of the scenery That's lost in a part of me that all seems a mystery now This river is running dry.... The colder the feeling it gets devoid of all meaning Follow the shadow retrospective assassins will Find something's missing in a hole in the system Naturally uncomfortable in your own home made comfort zone This river is running dry.... Disconnected from the resurrected Dreams of the old world can't fit in to this cold world Of instability based on bad history This fading façade has no place in our hearts anymore
