Lyrics for Seeds In The River

Do my eyes deceive me? Or has it merely been so many times from the sun Living like we have impunity? A desperate clutch of despair Clinging to existence And I don't know what waits for me there One last deep inhale Remove the dust under the stone Are we dying again? 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 I've known a lot of faces some are long gone And new memories replace those who sang their swansong A desperate clutch of despair Clinging to existence And I 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 Resilience is your weapon and you'll find your better self Inside the eyes of someone else" 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 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 savor And 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 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
