The Red River

As darkness calls, I am leaving my sanity in pieces
It's twisting and turning, corrupting my mind
Twisting and turning...
Feeding the rage that is growing beyond return
Cogwheels are churning
Raging and spreading its ash as it burns

I thought I knew you
Like you knew me
Is there no relief at all?
Is there resolution in forgiveness?
Pain goes away, but scars are forever

I rip myself open in anger
I will let my demons show
For something within me has broken
It's screaming and yearning to grow
For as long as my heart bleeds a river
I will let the red rivеr flow
A harrowing crack in the surface
Exposing the ragе and the beast that dwells below

Smashing, breaking, kicking, burning
And ferociously demand
Damn you all, it's all your fault
I'm reduced to contempt where I stand
Pushing the limit containing my misery
Borders are failing
Anger is an animal trying to be free

I thought I knew you
Like you knew me
Is there no escape at all?
Is there resolution in forgiveness?
