Downstream from Emerald by Raksha

You’re laughing, I’m crying, we’re falling apart
When my time comes you’ll be there at the start
A moment in my shoes is all that you need
To set yourself apart from the rest and agree

I’m a sleeper who can’t sleep
I’m a dreamer who can’t dream
I’m a river that runs free
And I’m dragging you down the stream

The battle of the weakest determines the strength
Of the hearts that are broken, too broken to mend
Your fingers are crossed as mine do the work
If we come back alive all we’ll get is a smirk

You call them evil but you hardly know
You’re basing your judgements on what you’ve been told
It’s all a lie, but how can you tell?
It’s end of the line and I bid you farewell

I’m a sleeper who can’t sleep
I’m a dreamer who can’t dream
I’m a river that runs free
Running free, running deep
And I’m dragging you downstream
(And you’re dragging me downstream)
Into dreams I can’t escape
I left it too late
And as my faith slips away I’ll prey

The affluent society contains itself
In blissful ignorance surrounded by wealth
Unaware of what’s fair and what’s not really fair
They act they care but they couldn’t care less
