River A Close Study Lyrics

A Close Study
The mourners bow their heads
But I am not above
Flow in the evening rain

Despite how hard I try
I'm left just to be
Lonely and afraid

My sober thoughts lie here
I have kept them away
A silence through the glass

It's colder when you're near
Your vanity makes me bleed
Illusions never passed

Your silence helps me pull away
I push farther from my thoughts
You made me pleased with how I feel
But a friend is all I sought
The days just blend into a whole
The pale skies just seem to grow I have so much to give
More than you'll ever know

My useless pulse is through
My hope is given away
My trust has been misplaced

As I struggle through the haze
if you simply saw my face
I'd find a way to stay

We didn't speak at all
of how we felt
It doesn't matter now

And so you're gone
No one seems to watch
Need to be around

Losing myself
in nowhere
away from your eyes

But what do you care
if I'm not here
Just tell me why
