By and Down the River lyrics

[Intro]
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission holding on to how I picture you

[Verse 1]
Showing only bits and pieces
'Til the light betrays you and your empty elocution

[Verse 2]
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I've been searching your eyes for humility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I'm still searching, searching

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Showing only bits and pieces
'Til the tide betrays you and your empty elocution
Float the Piper by and down the river
Carcass crippled underneath the pounding waves of adoration

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Pied Piper, float on down the river
Bloated carcass crippled 'neath the weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission holding on to how I picture you
