Lyrics The River - Impure Wilhelmina

The River

I divide my age by four to understand what I am
Where’s the source of all this suffering?
Then I add sixty-five years to see what I became
Has all this really a meaning?
Cause I’ll never find a friend among the creatures
That lives in the river of life, I’m drowning
I came because the sky was blue but the water is cloudy and cold
How the fuck would I speak my mind if I must hold my breath?
I wonder how you can keep complaining
There’s no water in your lungs and I am almost deaf
There are too many voices in the river of life, I’m drowning
I came on to wash my face and my soul but the water is dirty and green
Never learned to swim, I don’t want to stay naked before you
I don’t want to swim naked in the river of life, I’m drowning
I came on that summer day now the water is fragrant and red
