My days begin waking in a panic
I fight to find a reason why I can't sleep through the static
They say I wear my heart on my shoulders a little too much
They don't see the fire burning in my lungs
The smoke, it keeps me so far out of touch
So, run away, deep river, run away
Run away, deep river, run away
Winter begins with cold weathered winds of guilt
I'm standing in shadows of giants, unfulfilled
I'm still falling short of the progress that I said I'd make
My thoughts have gone silent, you think I'd have nothing to say
Hold your breath, this levee's about to break
So, run away, deep river, run away
Run away, deep river, run away
Run away, deep river, run away
Run away, deep river, run away
Run away, deep river
Run away, deep river, run away
