lyrics

Hollow, haunted river full of mud
Where the beat of the sunlight
beats out your blood
The grass breaths steam
and the ground sinks low
There are those who still remember
we must heed the flow

Filthy, dirty waters keep our deathly stink
And ferry it to those who have no relief
Pity was not born of me
take my shit to the sea
Never to return again
until it rains down on me

Well, life is full of the unexpected,
the unwanted
But to the river none is left behind

Chorus
So where's it going
Where's it growing
Where's it been?
Towards the end, my friend
Where we'll all be swallowed,
chewed and spit out again

Hey, where's it going
where's it growing
where's it been?
Towards the end, my friend
Where no matter who you are we'll all be children once again

Suffice it to say I could bury you today
For while you're just drifting by
I am here, here to stay
Oh pity was not born of me,
I arose from the sea
And when my waters rise again
You'll be drowning right inside of me

Deep where the stillness speaks
In the space we shall meet

River, being, being river

The Shiz Hammond, Louisiana

From the soul of the South comes The Shiz. Indie Rock meets the Louisiana roux of Liz Hogan and Lilli Lewis, two front women who feel more like conjurers than beauty queens. The Shiz is hellbent on putting meaning back in the mainstream, and they do so with a compelling transparency and with hearts thumping hard in their chests - Unexpectedly stirring, and a damned good time. ... more
