"Seeds In The River" lyrics

"Seeds In The River"

Do my eyes deceive me or has it really been
So many times round the sun, living like we have impunity
A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
When I don't know what waits for me there

One last deep inhale
Remove the dust under the stone
I return again

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

I've known a lot of faces, and some are long gone
New memories replace those who sang their swansong
A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
When I don't know just what waits for me here

If I could write a letter to my former self
It would just read "accept the hand you've been dealt
Resilence is a weapon, and you'll find your better self
It's in the eyes of someone else."

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

Eyes heavy but on we move blindly in the dark
I can't help but think of all the time I spent waiting for life to start
So focused on failing, I never took the time to savour
All the things I took for granted, I wish that I could come back braver

One day you will look back
And wish for a dull moment
A deeper connection
That's what keeps you tethered
Keep your head above the waves
Ride it out for as long as you can take
There's enough tragedy to pull you down
But we've all seen darker days

We're all seeds in the river
Washed away like we were never... here
Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
