River Blood Lyrics

Highwater is everywhere, highwater is telling me to go
There's poison in the course it runs, there's ashes from the factory on the hill
Watch it all fall down
From the mountain to the ground
Watch it all say no
River Blood
Oh, River Blood
I've always found that river
Test my grip and then I'm sure you will believe that I cannot let go
I live on fruit I have preserved in mason jars beneath the basement floor
Watch it all fall down
From the mountain to the ground
Watch it all say no
River Blood
Oh, River Blood
I've always found that river
These walls are covered in black bullet holes and each one has a christian name
One's my father, one's my son, I stick my fingers in to prove they're real
Watch it all fall down
From the mountain to the ground
Watch it all say no
River Blood
Oh, River Blood
I've always found that river
