East Denistone - River Lyrics

For all the wisdom
You like to spout
It couldn't stop you
From going without
Your body's all worn down
Long overdue for a rest from all the excess
Mistakes that you've made
Dancing on the edge

So vacant and proud
You traded your years for minutes of life in the clouds
And when you came down
The deafening roar of consequence did come around

Your lips quiver, your eyes
They shiver and stir
Your tremors remain
And the fever returns
The young blood you blame
For all the shit that you've done
Mistakes that you've made
On a wild river

So vacant and proud
You traded your years for minutes of life in the clouds
And when you came down
The deafening roar of consequence did come around
So vacant and proud
You traded your years for minutes of life in the clouds
And when you came down
The deafening roar of consequence did come around

Who could've known
Fate would be so obscene?
Preaching
Virtue so violently
But the heart beats like clockwork
It'll thanklessly fight to cover old hurt
Come the morning
You'll be past the worst

So vacant and proud
You traded your years for minutes of life in the clouds
And when you came down
The deafening roar of consequence did come around
So vacant and proud
You traded your years for minutes of life in the clouds
And when you came down
The deafening roar of consequence did come around
