River Of Time

[Verse 1] Time is an endless procession of pain, Each little tick is a k***e in my vein. All I ever wanted was the clock to stop, This ceaseless turning that won’t let me drop. [Pre-Chorus] How long must I wait for this river to cease, For the current of moments to grant me peace? [Chorus] Stop the flow, let this river run dry, Lay down the weight of the years gone by. Let the stones be smooth from the pounding rain, Lord, end this suffering, ease this stain. [Verse 2] Each second washes me like riverstone, Polishing pain till I’m nothing but bone. Lost dreams and youth and love and fire, Drift away on a stream I can’t tire. [Pre-Chorus] Why leave me a shadow, pale and thin, A hollow echo of what might have been? [Chorus] Stop the flow, let this river run dry, Lay down the weight of the years gone by. Let the stones be smooth from the pounding rain, Lord, end this suffering, ease this stain. [Bridge] I beg you now—make the hurt release, Turn this restless current into peace. Take back the knives that click and grind, Let mercy find this weary mind. [Final Chorus] Stop the flow, let this river run dry, Let quiet fall where the old ghosts lie. Take back the time that stole my flame, Turn me from shadow back to a name. [Outro] Stop the flow… let me be whole again.
