Through the fields of soul
a river runs concealed
as cold as any bone
twist and curve it wraps the root
of every nerve
and numbs like a stone
Pre-Chorus
and it dulls the senses
and it drowns defences
and it weakens my resolve
Chorus
outside in, it turns and it twists
beneath the skin
this river of my sin
deep inside, if I resolve to do what's right
that river starts to rise,
it starts to rise again
beneath this house, the water
flows and hollows out
foundations I have laid
shake and fall, the river undermines
the walls collapse on their own
weight
Pre-Chorus
Like a bad injection, every good intention
is affected by the fall
Bridge
How can I escape my condition
might take something more than conviction
gonna take a full crucifixtion
what I want to do I do not do
what I do is not what I wanna do
gonna take a full crucifixtion
a river runs concealed
as cold as any bone
twist and curve it wraps the root
of every nerve
and numbs like a stone
Pre-Chorus
and it dulls the senses
and it drowns defences
and it weakens my resolve
Chorus
outside in, it turns and it twists
beneath the skin
this river of my sin
deep inside, if I resolve to do what's right
that river starts to rise,
it starts to rise again
beneath this house, the water
flows and hollows out
foundations I have laid
shake and fall, the river undermines
the walls collapse on their own
weight
Pre-Chorus
Like a bad injection, every good intention
is affected by the fall
Bridge
How can I escape my condition
might take something more than conviction
gonna take a full crucifixtion
what I want to do I do not do
what I do is not what I wanna do
gonna take a full crucifixtion
