I remember the days I ran like a stream
Breaking through every wall, chasing a dream
Driven through storms in the dead of the night
Every step forward became another fight
Now in my soul there is nothing but silt
Yeah, nothing but silt
I gave it my all, just look what I built
Squeezed every drop till I hollowed my soul
Where is the river that once made me whole?
Burned to the ground, dug down to the core
Nothing but silence, no triumph anymore
No fear, no anger, no ache in my chest
I keep moving forward, but what happens next?
Self-sacrifice sounds noble in words
But living it leaves you empty and burned
I broke my own body, betrayed my own mind
Chasing a prize I was never meant to find
The riverbed's empty, the earth's split apart
Is this what winning looks like from the start?
Squeezed every drop till I hollowed my soul
Where is the river that once made me whole?
Burned to the ground, dug down to the core
Nothing but silence, no triumph anymore
No fear, no anger, no fire inside
I keep moving forward with nowhere to hide
