lyrics

make me smooth like a river stone
throw me in the rapids
let the water wear me down
turn my flesh into a sound

I never wanted to be more
than a mask put on a child
but now that child's gone
this wild mask is moving on
and she's confused a bit about life
cause I used her to find out if I
could settle for security
but stagnant water's killing me

make me smooth like a river stone
throw me in the rapids
let the water wear me down
turn my flesh into a sound

there's books and lectures waiting for
those who revel in their minds
but I revel in my hands
and long to be in distant lands
and I been faking it for far too long
it didn't come out until this song
been blindly living this condition
worried bout my disposition

so take the mask from this girl
give me eyes to see
give me the courage to do what I fear
to finally set myself free
to finally set myself free

make me smooth like a river stone
throw me in the rapids
let the water wear me down
turn my flesh into a sound
turn my flesh into a sound
turn my flesh into a sound
turn my flesh into a sound
