(Spoken Intro) They built temples for the sky... but they buried their confessions with me. Every emperor believed his statue would outlive the rain. Every lover swore forever. Every murderer washed his hands. I remember what the river remembers. Verse 1 I wear the city's broken breath, The rust of hope, the smell of death. Wedding flowers, battlefield rain, Every promise down the drain. The baker's flour, the butcher's knife, The little scraps they call a life. Nothing holy stays pristine— That's not what holiness has ever been. Chorus Roll on... Carry what's too heavy to own. Roll on... Beneath the marble and the throne. I don't keep your sins... I keep you moving. I don't bury yesterday... I make tomorrow possible. Verse 2 Coins and crowns all weigh the same When water forgets their names. Children laugh above my song, Never knowing I've been there all along. Some call me filth. Some call me shame. Still every city calls my name Whenever pride begins to drown— I'm the road that leads it down. Bridge Leave your grief. Leave your anger. Leave the names you cannot say. Water never asks forgiveness. Water simply finds a way. Final Chorus Roll on... Past the kings and broken gods. Roll on... Past forgotten prayers. Every river reaches oceans. Every wound becomes a scar. Every heart has underground places... That's where I am. That's where healing starts.
