Can't afford to make peace I sail that boat down the river Still the furniture creaks And the wind blows your back through the door Buried in somewhere deep Where its cries and the lies won't be reached Can't afford to make peace Sunk like a stone in the river And lost to the ocean's deep Washed ashore in the storm, better yet Tangled in vines and weeds You choke as they close on your neck I'd hold on but my soul is weak Not a fighter You're so strong and you breathe in me You're the liar Leading me over the fire Can't afford to be weak I sit here alone on the river And the creatures beneath Will circle the boat 'til the dawn Twisted and sick with grief My feet hit the trail for the hills Until I reach that peak I'm left with the wind and my will I'd hold on but my soul is weak Not a fighter You're so strong and you breathe in me You're the liar Leading me over the fire I'd hold on but my soul is weak Not a fighter You're so strong and you breathe in me You're the liar Leading me over the fire Can't afford to make peace I sail that boat down the river Can't afford to make peace I sail that boat down the river Sail that boat down the river
