River of Deceit

my pain is self chosen
at least
so the prophet says
i could either burn
or cut off my pride and buy some time
a head full of lies is the weight
tied to my waste

the river of deceit flows down
the only direction we flow is down
down oh down

my pain is self chosen
at least
i believe it to be
i could either drown
or pull of my skin
and swim to shore
now i can grow a beautiful shell
for all to see

the river of deceit rolls down
the only direction we flow is down
down oh down
down oh down

my pain is self chosen
yea our pain is self chosen
(down oh down)
down oh down
