SEEDS

I wanted to believe the praying voices in the air
I wanted to be saved by prophecies from billionaires
I wanted to remember places that I have yet to know
Have we been sowing seeds that never grow?

I wanted love but only hate has served me well these days
I wanted peace but it feels good to see my foes' disgrace
Here comes the rain
The season has changed
But these barren fields remain the same

I wanted to stay in the chorus of a pretty song
I wanted to find God and stop to ask if I belong
I wanted just a taste of hell without selling my soul
Have we been sowing seeds that never grow?
I wanted to bury the fathers who spoke through my name
I wanted to embrace the mothers who held all the blame
Here comes the rain
The season has changed
But these barren fields remain the same

A shaman told me
We cannot go back
We should be waving
To what we once had
Like drying seedlings that can never be revived
I keep letting them die

Golden leaves are all spread on the ground
Frozen laughter in echoing sounds
No one knows why these seeds never grow
Where did all the children go?

Every night they all turn out the lights
Across the sky no more guiding star
No one knows what the future holds
Where did all the children go?
