Don't Drag The River

There is a place on the wrong side of town
It's a curse whenever I go
And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head
Let me down, I want you to know
Now I don't know ya, but you are my jailer
I've sentanced by the jury below
Now it scares me to death
And I just cannot let this cage they put over me

Don't drag the river
I hear the voices on the ground
Don't drag the river
I go to sleep without a sound

You can turn out the daylight
I'll be gone in the morning
You can try to burn down the sun
I gotta make you believe
That I did not deceive
No, I did not hurt anyone
You can make me slave
You can make me a number
But I'm not the one who lied
Cos they threw away the key
And it just cannot be
In this cage that they put over me

Don't drag the river
I hear the voices on the ground
Don't drag the river
I go to sleep without a sound

I'm in a state of madness
I panic in my head
They're gonna pull me under
No matter what I said
I taste the fear inside me
I'm gonna break my vow
And now the hound is callin'
It's gonna take me down

Taste the fear inside me
I'm gonna break my vow
And now the hound is callin'
Take me down

I hear the voices on the ground
I go to sleep without a sound

Drag the river
I hear the voices on the ground
Don't drag the river
I go to sleep without a sound

River
I hear the voices on the ground
Don't drag the river
I go to sleep without a sound

Don't drag the river (repeat)
