Out of all the songs on Revival, River has a REALLY nice vibe to it, and seeing the music video today sparked some creativity. So I got a friend of mine to sing the hook, and set to work on a remix.



LYRICS:
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run

I wish I knew why I do this
I'm honestly clueless
Before, there was true bliss
And now, we go through this
Every day's a battle
What the f--- is it for?
I wish I knew how to turn around
And walk out the door
Constant war, back and forth
Talkin' less, screamin' more
Get so pissed, raise a fist
She's a mess on the floor
The words stop flyin'
She won't stop cryin'
I'm standin' above her
Tellin' her that I love her
She's holding her cheek
Feelin' hopeless and weak
Try to tell her I'm sorry
But she can't even speak
I don't want her to leave me
I tell her every day
I think she really believes me
I'm beggin' her to stay
The nights went first
The fights got worse
Our relationship now felt
More like a curse
I'm comin' home late
She's stayin' awake
I call her a nuisance
She's callin' me ruthless
Let's see her call me abusive
After I make her toothless

I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run

I got her under my spell
I make her life livin' h---
But she's obedient now
I think she handles it well
I keep her inside
So I can keep her as mine
If she starts talkin' to people
How can I keep her in line?
They'd probably poison her brain
And start her thinkin' about life
And that's not what I want
What I need's a devout wife
Who shuts the f--- up
And speaks when spoken to
Never cries or sucks up
They're mentally broken, too
One day, she told me
That we needed to chat
It sounded serious
Oh man, we're not having that
So I take my sweet time
Comin' home that night
I wanted to wait
Until she lost the will to fight
When I finally got home
I walk in the door
I call her name; no answer
That's never happened before
The house is quiet
And I'm openin' each door
There's a noise down the hall
Like a chair hit the floor
I run toward the bedroom
And the sound of the banging
Where I finally find her
Dead, from apparent hanging

I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run

I know
That I
Hurt her
I know
This is
Murder

I've got her blood on my hands
But no charges were pressed
I even helped dig the land
Where we would lay her to rest
People tell me it's my fault
And yeah, I know they're right
I can't even argue
The story's black and white
Cut and dry, case closed
I did it, I killed her
And this blood on my hands?
It's all that's left from the murder
I can't wash it off, oh god,
What have I done?
The demons inside me, they possessed me
They won.
Sometimes I hear her voice
Callin' out from the shadows
Screamin' from past fights, and long lost battles
I'm a murderer
And the guilt is like shackles

I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
