River Pain

I know it’s out there in a place where I haven’t looked before. We’re both running away in a land that has no name. I want to escape this insanity that knows me by name, leave all my pain in the dust. Maybe the wind will whisk it away to an honest land. Let’s meet at the river and clean our souls together. Let the water trickle down with our fears, dry away our embedded tears. We’ll carry the rainbow on our backs and name our honest land.
