The Opus - The River 2 lyrics

[Hook] [x2] And when I see (the) lightning, feels like my buzz is heightening Everytime I feel the sun, I can smell the love Everytime I smell the air, I can hear a child trying But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying [Verse 1] It was a purple purple sky and an orange orange moon And everyone was whistling the same tune Except Brian, Brian stared out across the field And watch the horizon blossom to cop a feel Over the edge of the world The one we're all afraid to walk The rationate for why they're so high on the small talk But Brian knows where the crows all go To find the if's, and the and's and the but's and also's [Chorus] If I could run through the woods and speed like the light I'd find the answers to why, and be back by tonight If I could fly through the fog and look down at this rock I'd figure out how to sweep hell off of my block But as it stands, I lay content Tryin' to be the magic man, tryin' to pay my rent Stay bend, try to turn on the secrets you sought While we're still burning the dawn just to keep the day hot [Verse 2] They slipped hidden messages into the cards that were dealt Trying to understand myself and all of the sorrow I felt For as simple as I'am how'd it get so complex Got me studying the margins and disregarding the text I open the curtains and listen to the traffic go But I still get nervous each time my piece pa**es go The residue is thick, the memory fails I still laugh cuz the path feels a lot like a trail [Chorus] [Verse 3] We used to be lost walking these hallways with pride Drunk or sober, life was nothing short of rollercoaster rides Used to trip off the music, speak to the rhythm All we wanted out of life was living And when you pa**ed I wanted to take back the time we wasted I'd trade all the buzzes in for one more conversation We can sit in the shade and discuss the meaning of sacred Cause I can't see the garden no more, just the aphids But the wind still blows and the plains still grow And I wish your name was on the guest list to my shows I want you to see me find my freedom Cause you got to meet the sun before you got to meet my son [Hook] [x4] And when I see the lightning, feels like my buzz is heightening Everytime I feel the sun, I can smell the love Everytime I smell the air, I can hear a child trying But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying [Outro] And when I hear a river I think the mother is crying But when I hear a river I think the mother is crying But when I hear a river I think the mother is crying But when I hear the river..
