[Verse 1]
How to start a verse that will probably change my life
I might mess with Mary but I won't make her my wife
But I heard Molly is nice and Jackie gets you loose
Crystal's for the good times and you see her with the goose
I'm turning to a fool
The world wants to consume
Why do I expect order but don't follow my own rules?
I do not fear the world
I hold it in my hands
Because all the great Rivers lead into a Mountain
Man
I was once afraid but now I fear nothing
I could once be hurt but now I feel nothing
They call me Daryl Verah
I don't recognise the name
From here on out call me 'The Player/The Game'
With all these damn questions I feel like I'm on trial
I see her crying rivers
I guess she's in denial
I do not fear love
I just want her to hold me
To make me feel good she turned around and told me
[Hook]
She told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy from the burden of the truth
She spoke of her dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth
[Verse 2]
She came back at long last
Just for me tell her it was doomed from the start
I see the pain etchings in her heart
Maybe the rain could wipe this slate of ours
I guess what happens in the past stays in our brains
Remember when I sheltered you when you saw the rain?
Remember when I'd comfort you when you were insane?
So when I left you
The cause of my pain
You didn't wanna hear it but its time to face your fears
You got a million guys waiting just to treat you different
Now you're sipping from the fountain of youth but that's a mission
Nah
Stop what you're drinking
I'll be gone for a minute
You say don't smoke but you're stinking of cigarettes
Maybe that's why I liked you more than just little bit
You say I'm coming out a little inconsiderate
You're drowning in your own tears but you ain't seen The River yet
[Hook]
She told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy from the burden of the truth
She spoke of her dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth
[Outro]
Fourteen years she said "I couldn't look into the sun"
He saw her laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life and thirsty for the distant river
But I don't need you when I've got my left hand
The Distant River that leads to The Mountain Plan
