[1]
sunrise
bleeds over the city lights
and the lights go out
and so do i
and the lights go out
so do i
take care
the edge of the world’s right there
and you’ve got
a running start
so throw yourself
over into the dark
holy
you’re feeling so lonely
and the god you’ve found
he’s not here much
no the faith you found
is thin as blood
[CHORUS]
okay
weren’t much for god anyway
and now the world is much bigger
but you take up the same space
yeah your hearts growing fast but
now your chest feels the same size
oh now when will you break through?
through from the inside?
[2]
cold dawn, july is
no closer to over
but you take the train just
to pretend its October
if you made it here
you’ll make it there
if you make it there
maybe you could go anywhere
[CHORUS]
small fear
if you had to die somewhere
are you happy just watching it splitting
open the sky to the ocean
as the sunrise spills golden
and you’re gripped with a small fear
if you had to die somewhere,
are you glad that it’s right here?
are you glad that it’s right here?
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
[BRIDGE]
so alive with the sunrise
and it gives you direction
and the plume of your youth sheds
ignorance is protection
but the world is so bright now
and its big enough for you
and the heart you’re still growing
yeah, you’ll learn to commit to
and tomorrow is coming
and tomorrow is thinning
and the things that still scare you
are a sign of a beginning
so hold onto your breath now
don’t you give up the ghost yet
you have miles to go still
don’t you dare just forget it
don’t you live to forget it
don’t you live to forget it
[OUTRO]
hold the things that you love dear
hold the person you’ll be tight
don’t let up til the dawn breaks
and you’re sure that the sunrise
will make it to the morning
til your knuckles go pale white
hold the things that you know dear
its the warmth of your good life
its the warmth of your good life
even if its a short life
its the warmth of your good life

[1]
i saw a psychic
and she told me
you were coming home soon
and i believed her
cause i cannot stand
another faithless
day down by the river
while i wait and wait for you
i saw your mother
and god help me
but i bit down on my tongue
even hopes a bitter drink
and i dont know what you’d think
of where i get hope from and
and you got that from your childhood home
[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
[2]
saw a numerologist
and asked him to read
seconds of my life
asked where god would find me
why faith never dignifies me
and how far as im aware of time
im seconds off im never quite aligned
i saw him frown
i saw him pray for me without the nerve
to speak the words
and i went right back to the river
and i tried to bathe it off
and i tried to be a baptist
but im still just seconds off
[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
[3]
so i saw the undertaker
fingers with all rings
of many stones and gold
tried to turn my pockets out
sent pennies falling graceless
to the ground i saw it cross her then
it wouldnt be enough to bring you home
and im a saint now
im the patron of all
beatup dawn commutes
and i think faith’s for those with healthy homesteads
rosarys and rings of gold when
youve got nothing left
there is no food of faith just
pennies in your hand
[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
[4]
i go back to the river
and i dont think it means
anything at all
ive been witherd bone-deep
i keep heckling your ghost see
i give everything ive left and let it sink
and now theres nothing but to drink
deep from my open palms
and pray in time that summer calls me down
and i let it revive me
let the river crucify me
i let everybody in and i let
everybody see me as i am
and i will see your loving face again
mercy, gave it all that i had left
i will raise you from the river bed
