Someone Burned Down The Riverside

from Actress by L. Mounts

/

lyrics

Someone burned down the riverside
It burned down in all its pride
Not one man in there deserved to die
And not one woman held on to their life

Someone burned down the riverside
It made me see the fire in your eyes
Your pupils went ablaze and opened wide
Even more so than when you were my bride

Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget
Think of all the people that have left

Someone entered a construction zone
Walking freely around in the snow
Unfortunately they didn't know
What was underneath their fragile toes

Someone entered a construction zone
A "No Trespassing" sign they didn't note
They made snow angles then began to go
But fell through the frozen undertow

Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget
Think of all the people that have left

I seem to find a rising curiosity
Why everyone's not scared of death
Except for me

Someone played a darkened tune of war
Like the one I heard the night before
All my colleagues walked out through the door
And went to lead a life so ripped and torn

Someone played a darkened tune of war
But how I loved the way his piano roared
After the number finished up my ears were sore
5 minutes later I came back for more
I didn't want to return to the forlorn

Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget
Think of all the people that have left

I seem to find a rising curiosity
Why everyone's not scared of death
Except for me
