She's A River

She's as careless as a river Slowly carving through the ground Only rocks and roots to guide her Til she beats against the dam Don't fight Don't fight what you're made for They smell her scent of water So the swimmers come to bathe Wash themselves of all their secrets Leave their dreams among her river waves Don't fight Don't fight what you're made for Don't fight Don't fight you are what you are They slog the muddy banks When they've had all that they need Dreams flickering behind them Secrets sinking to the reeds She dares to take a hostage Any way that she knows how Drowns them in the darkness Dazes them with vertigo Don't fight Don't fight what you're made for Don't fight Don't fight you are what you are She waits for drought to come All the bodies be exposed Til then she's just a vessel For others' fears and loves Don't fight Don't fight Don't fight what you're made for She's a river She's a river She's a river She's a river
