Lyrics
Down in the current where the shadows play
I spot a flicker gold in the gray
A stonefly drifting fat and so fine
Temptin' my hunger crossin' the line
One quick snap feels like a kiss from the deep
But oh what a bite sharp as a secret I keep
This ain't no mayfly soft and sweet
It's alive with a fire pullin' me off my feet
Terror in the water thrashin' wild and blind
Strongest meal I ever chased now it's stealin' my mind
Reelin' me under draggin' me 'round
Against my will in this upside down drown
Betrayal in the bubbles a hook in my lip
Thought it was supper now it's a rip
This tiny bug's got superpowers pullin' like a storm
How's somethin' so small twist my world inside out?
Hooked on a lie fightin' for air
In the grip of the greatest nightmare
I dart to the left tail beatin' the flow
But it's yankin' me back stealin' the show
Is this the end of my river run days?
Or just some cruel joke in the sun's lazy rays?
Feels like the current turned traitor on me
Whirlin' me deeper no mercy to see
That stonefly's a monster wings of pure spite
Eatin' my freedom in the dead of the night
No wait it's the dawn but the pain don't care
I'm twistin' and turnin' breathin' thin river air
Up on the bank rod in his hand so loose
Just a Tuesday ritual no rush no excuse
Castin' lines lazy watchin' the ripples unwind
Doesn't even care if he hauls in his find
Sippin' his coffee hummin' some old tune
While I'm down here ragin' under the moon
For him it's a hobby a flick of the wrist
For me it's the devil's own twist
Terror in the water thrashin' wild and blind
Strongest meal I ever chased now it's stealin' my mind
Reelin' me under draggin' me 'round
Against my will in this upside down drown
Betrayal in the bubbles a hook in my lip
Tiny bug's thunder superpowered grip
How's it so small yet it pulls like the tide?
