lyrics

I walked a river, I lost my friends, they made an offer that I'll depend on. I wash your silver, I ware your gold, I ware your heart in the cold. I made a reason to understand, what captures feeling, inside my hands.

I burnt an island to walk with you and climb all reason of what I knew. I made a promise that i'd be true, you stick to offers and they'll bury you.
A reason with me.
