The Riddle

I've got a riddle
You can take your time
I'll just wait here in the middle
laughin' while I'm cryin'
It's only a riddle
but what can you say

I woke up from my sleep
right into a dream
Saw a loneliness river
sweepin' me downstream
And I knew it was comin'
just never thought it would arrive
Feels like I'm dyin'
'cause it's still alive
It's the highest thing
to ever lay me low

I had forgotten
what I remembered all along
The top was at the bottom
the right thing was wrong
The inside was outside
the weaker was the strong

Though I threw it away
I was holding on
When I tried to catch it
it was already gone
So, I tried to change it
it was still the same
I'll just never understand it
but I know its name
It's all here in this riddle
what can I say
