Rivers without Fish

lyrics by: Britton Newton

Look at me, with all of my addictions

How am I here, when my eyes have gone gray?

It was me starving in the Winter

It was me all alone — still selfish and alone

These damn hands fall away

Now, it’s time to dream and piss away my sorrows

My eyes have been stones washing away in the rivers

What I need are just more excuses

And try not to feed my anxious heart

These damn hands fall away

These rivers still flow without fish

All the sailors smoke away their lost lovers

These rivers still flow

All the sailors buzz along

Danger has been lost by the bold,

by the bold…

So untrue to nature, I’m afraid to go home
