[Verse 1]

I don't meant to hurt you

When my words don't come out

And when I keep quiet

I am hiding from myself

The words sit so heavy in my throat

Gag and choke

Swallow it back down

And burry the feelings far beneath

Dark and deep

In the warm ground

Tell me, am I faded?

Has my fire burnt out?

Tell me, do you see the way

I'm crying now?

[Chorus]

Like a river, river

A silent river

Like a river, river

A silent river

[Verse 2]

Smoke signs in the distance

I'm resistant to see

The heavy rain, the heavy rocks

Laid over me

And everything's slipping from my grasp

Rushing past

No way to control

The feeling that's rising with the flood

I'm undone knowing that

I must let go

Tell me, am I fading?

Has my fire burnt out?

Tell me, do you see the way

I'm crying now?

[Chorus]

Like a river, river

A silent river

Like a river, river

A silent river

Like a river, river

A silent river

Like a river, river

A silent river

[Bridge]

Like a river

Like a river

Like a river

Like a river

[Outro]

Tell me am I faded?

Has my fire burnt out?

Tell me do you see the way

I'm crying now?

Tell me am I faded?

Has my fire burnt out?
