Lyric

Where the river hits the city, that's where she takes her stand

Scales catching the sunset, running through the sand

Mouth wide and waiting for the stories that flow in

Everything the water brings, she's gonna swallow and begin

People think she's dangerous 'cause they can't read the current

She just listens to the bass line, lets the water burn it

Biwa singing underneath like a prayer and a threat

She's the keeper of the flow, collecting every debt

Mouth of the river, wide and deep

Mouth of the river, got you to keep

Mouth of the river, swallow it down

Mouth of the river, own the town

Why you think the city builds its walls on different sides?

Why you think the bridges span the ones they can't divide?

She's the reason all the currents know exactly where to go

She's the language that the water speaks, the undertow

Scales reflecting light like a thousand tiny mirrors

Everyone who sees her gets the warning clearer

Biwa breaks

808 drops

Mouth closes

Everything stops

Mouth of the river, she's the end

Mouth of the river, shape and bend
