Anew Interlude

You stood there and you knew.

The price of truth, knowing the value of virtue.

Too busy playing in the back of the field. Wondering what interpersonal magic I could yield.

Wash me in the river.

Until the water runs clear.

River, will you wash me until I am clean and anew. Come down to the edge of the river.

Until I am me and then I am you.

You never did let your trigger finger twitch.

In the corner of your eye there was a wish.

Instead, you just cleaned another dish.

Vacant gaze dreaming of the abyss.

Wash me in the river.

Until the water runs clear.

River, will you wash me until I am clean and anew. Come down to the edge of the river.

Until I am me and then I am you.

I take more than a second to breathe.

I knew you were waiting for us to be.

Sorry, it took so long to see.

Now, death is creeping up on me.

Wash me in the river.

Until the water runs clear.

River, will you wash me until I am clean and anew. Come down to the edge of the river.

Until I am me and then I am you.
