When's the last time we looked each other in the eyes

Last time we dressed up for the ball

The last time we felt a raging jealousy inside

Or any raging feeling at all

When's the last time we forfeited the last word

The last time we didn't care who won

When's the last time we risked being rejected but alive

Instead of just comfortably numb



We have been scratching at the surface of things

When rivers run underneath

There's a whole world happening just under our breath

Covered by the slinging of mud

There's a pain that doesn't even have a name yet

An injury hemorrhaging blood



There's a fire still flickering from years ago

Unsure if it should comfort or burn

There's a hope that's hidden in the waters below

Patiently waiting its turn



We have been scratching at the surface of things

When rivers run underneath

Put your ear to the ground

And your fist through the wall

Chase the rumbling sound

Saying maybe we're not dead after all

It's not too late to start our hearts beating again

Not too late to wake up to a dream



It's not too late to walk together to the water's edge

Kneel down and take a drink

We have been scratching at the surface of things

When rivers run underneath
