There is a river
That's in my mind
As black as tar
It flows like wine
Where it began
I'm unaware
I've only recent
Memories to share
Into the silt
They settle down
Where they come up
If not, they drown
It's watershed
At first it's small
Helps steer the course
Captures them all
I've no control where it flows
I am no cause, it just goes
I want control
I want it bad
If I pretend
That I am mad
Sometimes it's slow
Sometimes it's fast
If I close my eyes
It flows right past
I want to cause
But I react
My water's smooth
My water's cracked
