Dry River (Acoustic Version)

You said you wanted answers

I said you'd need a stronger drink

We walk past doors that never open

And faces that always look away

The city smiles like a shark

Every tooth bought and paid for

Dry river running under the ground

Secrets moving where no one can see

Every truth I've found

Slips right through me

And I can't tell if I'm holding water

Or just bleeding out in the dark

The deal's already done

Before you hear about it

You follow the train

But it circles back to you

Names on paper

Don't match the ones you know

And the ones you know

Aren't there to keep

I thought I could fix something by breaking it open

But the cracks just let the rot breathe and it smells like home

Dry river running under the ground

Secrets moving where no one can see

Every truth I've found

Slips right through me

And I can't tell if I'm holding water

Or just bleeding out in the dark

The water's gone

But the streets are wet

No one's talking about the rain
