Trick or treat! That's kind of what modern relationships remind me of. ㅤ Some people are really good at hiding who they are, others discover sides of themselves they never knew existed, and some are genuinely terrifying without even needing a costume. ㅤ In the end, you never really know who's behind the next door, or who's actually wearing a mask. ㅤ [VERSE] There's blood on the walls tonight Black suits waiting for the night A witch is fixing up her hair A demon's hiding everywhere ㅤ [VERSE] We knock on doors we don't belong We smile before we do them wrong Give us something, let us in Or watch the trouble we bring in ㅤ [CHORUS] Now we all turn into monsters When the moon is shining bright Now we all turn into monsters When the streetlights fade from sight ㅤ [CHORUS] Now we all turn into monsters I see them in the love we fake Now we all turn into monsters I see them in the hearts we break Madness season ain't over after Rocktober ㅤ [CHORUS] Now we all turn into monsters When the moon is shining bright Now we all turn into monsters When the streetlights fade from sightmore

I think I finally understand Romy's song The River Away From You a lot better than I used to. Took me a while. Apparently, some lessons don't come with a fast-forward button. 🤷‍♂️ ㅤ So I asked her if I could borrow her lyrics and give them a Deepwater Version. Same words, different perspective. This time, through the eyes of a man who's lived that strange kind of burnout where you're slowly falling apart, but somehow finding your way back to yourself. ㅤ It's a gentle kind of burnout. Painful, sure, but strangely liberating. Sometimes drifting away isn't really about losing someone. It's about finally finding yourself. ㅤ Anyway, sorry Romy. I borrowed your river. 😅 ㅤ [VERSE] Morning found us getting older Your bare feet across the floor Sunday sunlight on your shoulder Your old jacket by the door Nothing happened worth remembering Still I remember everything We'd miss the ending of the movie Talking underneath our breath You'd steal the blanket, I'd complain Then pull you closer nonetheless No fireworks above the rooftops Just your head against my chest I can see that moment clearly Every shadow, every chair I can picture it so perfectly Though I have never once been there ㅤ [PRE-CHORUS] Some lives can feel like memories ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from you ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from youmore

Sometimes I wonder how many versions of ourselves we leave behind with a single decision. There's one version of me I think about more than I'd like to admit. I don't know who she became, where she lives, or whether she would've been happier... but somehow, she feels familiar. ㅤ The River Away From You came from that strange feeling. Not really wanting to undo the past, but quietly wondering about the person I might have become if, at one particular moment, I'd chosen differently. I guess some decisions don't disappear once we make them. We just learn to live alongside the lives they closed. ㅤ [VERSE] Morning found us getting older Your bare feet across the floor Sunday sunlight on your shoulder Your old jacket by the door Nothing happened worth remembering Still I remember everything We'd miss the ending of the movie Talking underneath our breath You'd steal the blanket, I'd complain Then pull you closer nonetheless No fireworks above the rooftops Just your head against my chest I can see that moment clearly Every shadow, every chair I can picture it so perfectly Though I have never once been there ㅤ [PRE-CHORUS] Some lives can feel like memories ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from you ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from youmore
