(Verse 1) My heart had become black and quite sick, The river has gone red, turning toxic. There's the pain, and there's the loss, And the love I lost did return, but it had a sad cost. I’m carrying stones that no one can see, Hardened knots in the center of me. (Whispered) I rejected the blade, I refused the repair, Now I’m breathing in heavy, poisonous air. (Chorus) (Breathy) Hey, im okay I still believe It’s a toxic cycle, spinning out of control, The poison is reaching for the depth of my soul. I have to leave Even though we're finished, I'm sending a wish, Burning through the dark with a final kiss. Yeah, it’s catchy but it’s killing me slow, Nowhere left for this secret to go. When you wake up (Whispered) You'll know (Verse 2) Sorry if I was oddly terrifying, Sorry for leaving you crying. But you should know that I'm dying. (Yeah, uh, life's a bitch) There's much I wanted, but there's not much handed, (Breathy) The blood and the pain of my life were self-commanded. One day you’ll look back and the truth will arrive, Why I put down the knife just to stay alive. The choice that I made in the heat of the night, To carry the burden and stay out of sight. Some secrets i keep within, really bite (Whispered) Ah, can you feel that breeze Releasing into ease (Whispered) Stay strong, please (Outro) Even if parting ways feels like the end, From another life, a message I promise to send. You gave me faiths lend Just look for the signs in the river’s red flow, The secret I kept because I loved you so. Hey, you expecting? I didn't know...
