you will wake up 
on the other side of the river
drenched in your pain
subconscious shivers
you will shed it
like you shed your skin
when you weren�t afraid to jump in
or leave us

you will wake up again
from hibernation
a season with the bears
to hide sensation / starvation
cold comfort, chained to dumbness
of the social bravado
that you weren�t afraid to speak out against�
or be wrong

don�t trade in your health
for the game
the ending is always the same

you have left a sliver
somewhere inside of my heart
taken from the river
you swam against the grain
that is why I envy you,
you have left the pain behind.

you�re sleeping in
you�re sleeping in
