Lyrics of This is the sea

These things you keep, you better throw them away
You wanna turn your back on your soulless days
Once you were tethered, now you are free
Once you were tethered, now you are free
That was the river, this is the sea

And now if you're feelin' weary, if you've been alone too long
Or maybe you've been sufferin' from a few too many plans
That have gone wrong and you're tryin' to remember
How fine your life used to be, runnin' around, bangin' your drum
Like it's 1973, well that was the river, this is the sea

And now you say you've got trouble, you say you've got pain
You say you've got nothin' left to believe in, nothin' to hold on to
Nothin' to trust, nothin' but chains, you've been scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memory, scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memory but that was the river, this is the sea

Now i can see you waverin' as you try to decide
You've got a war in your head and it's tearin' you up inside
You're tryin' to make sense of somethin' that you just don't see
You're tryin' to make sense now and you know that you once held the key
But that was the river, this is the sea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now i hear there's a train, it's comin' on down the line
It's yours if you hurry, you've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket and you don't pay no fee
And now, you don't need a ticket, you don't pay no fee
Because that was the river and this is the sea

That was the river, this the sea, that was the river, this the sea
That was the river, river, river, river, river, river, river and this the sea
Sea, sea, yeah, behold the sea
