River

i am standing by a river were the water doesent flow past voices all around me were life is forbidden to grow standing beneath a street light and the light i now so well looking up at the broken light were that guiding light once fell am standing by a highway this road i now so well i thought i heard it say this is the road to hell my throat jams up with credit and theres nothing i can do and life i wish i fed it hoping i see this through shadows in the distance sea and the sea i now so well creeping up behind me i have nothing left to sell
