lirik lagu franklin county coding company - cache river hymn
cypress knees sit like bent old monks
prayin’ through time with their backs all sunk
the water don’t talk, so it sure don’t lie—
it just steadies what it grows and then lets it die
i came down here with too much thought
hopin’ the silence would clean my mind’s rot
but i still catch myself explainin’ the pain—
like if i say it right, i won’t have to change
a heron stood aloof like it’d seen it all
he didn’t twitch when i slipped and stalled
it watched me flinch at a cottonmouth swim
then went back still after i hemmed
i laughed out loud like i always do—
that half~smart tone i use to cover truth
i thought, well maybe nature’s got more grace
but even out here i’m scared to show my real face
this might be a hymn, but it ain’t truth—
just a half~baked prayer with muddy boots
i know the words i’ll say, but not the tune—
im still tryin’ to dodge those quiet rooms
if i can’t be clean, let me be clear—
i don’t want to lie while i’m still here
stepped on a floating log, felt it split with weight
didn’t curse god for once, but it felt like fate
sometimes breakin’ ain’t a fall—
and that makes it of no use at all
and i thought of all my practiced lines
the quotes i’d sling to sound refined
but none of them even held like that dead log—
and i kept living with no consequences, lost in the fog
this might be a hymn, but it ain’t the truth—
just a half~baked prayer in rubber boots
i write the words, but not the tune—
still tryin’ to dodge the quiet rooms
if i can’t be clean, let me be clear—
i don’t want to lie while i’m still here
saw a snake curled tight on a cypress root
his old skin shed and still underfoot
and i stood there wantin’ that kind of release—
to slip what’s dead and walk in peace
but the part i need to peel won’t show—
it’s dry and dead where the love should grow
it’s wrapped around the hardest part—
the crust that’s settled on my heart
this might be a hymn, but it ain’t truth—
just a half~baked prayer with muddy boots
i know the words i’ll say, but not the tune—
im still tryin’ to dodge those quiet rooms
if i can’t be clean, let me be clear—
i don’t want to lie while i’m still here
let the swamp keep what i can’t yet shed—
some skins don’t peel — they rot instead
but i’m standin’ still, and that’s a start—
even if the dead’s inside my heart
