"River Of Deceit" lyrics - MAD SEASON

My pain, is self-chosen
At least, so the prophet says
I could either burn, or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

The river of deceit pulls down, oh-oh
The only direction we flow is down

Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down

My pain, is self-chosen
At least, I believe it to be
I could either drown, or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

The river of deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down

Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down

The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen

Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down
Down, all down
