This tracks about my struggles with escapism. The river down the hill is a real place, but also exists in someway in every bodies lives. What is your river?

lyrics

Yesterday I went down to the river down the hill
Cause it's far away from the life I live and the only place that's still
Sometimes I feel I don't know how to deal with the day to day, the mundane
So I go down to the water to think
And hear what the earth may say

And it rains and it floods life up from above
Hands in the grass feel the purest love

Breathe breathe breathe the worlds not going anywhere
Just be and know that you are here

Tomorrow I'll go back to the same place I was today
Cause it's safe down there and the birds sing soft and the trees are my escape
At 18 it's not that hard
To see just how unimportant you are
Things get too fast
Then move too slow
And I have problems letting go
Settle down, feel the ground

The winds moving now like voices around
Sunlight like honey my favorite sound

Breathe breathe breathe the worlds not going anywhere
Just be and know that you are here
You cant run forever, cause you'll only go more deep
And it wont get much better
If you don't face what's underneath
Don't go to the river down the hill
To the river down the hill
To the river down the hill
To the river down the hill
