Black river… …river… of teeth… (teeth… teeth..) I stepped to the edge where the silence breathes Saw the water move but it don’t flow free It was pullin’ like hands from beneath the deep Like it knew my name, like it wanted me No reflection there, just a shattered face Every ripple cut like a serrated blade Tried to turn around but the ground gave way— Now I’m waist-deep in what I can’t escape Hold… on… (echo) But it drags me slow… (slow… slow…) Every second gone Like I never was before Black river of teeth, don’t let me go (It pulls me down… down… down…) Every wave got a bite, every current cold (It pulls me down… down… down…) I can feel it close in my bones, in my soul No air, no light, just the undertow Black river of teeth— I’m already gone… (gone… gone…) Now it’s up to my chest, I can’t feel my breath Every inch I fight just accelerates death Hear the voices in the current—nothing but threats Say “you all sink the same,” ain’t no second chance left Teeth in the tide, yeah they tear through trust Turn dreams into dust, turn hope into rust Every scream I make gets swallowed at once— Like the river feeds on the weak and the lost Don’t… fight… (fight… fight…) That’s what it wants… (wants… wants…) Every move I make Pulls me deeper in the dark Black river of teeth, take everything (It pulls me down… down… down…) Every life it meets ends the same way (It pulls me down… down… down…) No escape in the pull, no mercy shown Just a thousand silent jaws below Black river of teeth— Now I know… I know… (know… know… fade) (faint whisper) …don’t step in… …don’t step in… …too late…
