about

The third Lost Gems single, from singer/songwriter Cynthia Isabella and producer Alex DeGroot, "Black Seed" is a sonic and lyrical expression recognizing the potential for something beautiful and joyous to emerge, even in the midst of dark times.

lyrics

Black seed in the middle of my room
Planted deep beneath the floorboards of gloom
Tore a hole in the rug
And a bloom rose up the color of blood
Scent of gardenia in the air
Breathe it in and wash away despair
Black seed grows there

You gave me a painting
I liked the colors
The way it made me feel
As I sit here in the dark
And stare at where you left your mark
And when the moon is full
All will be clear
What I need to know
She’ll whisper in my ear tonight

Black seed in the middle of my room
Planted deep beneath the floorboards of gloom
Tore a hole in the rug
And a bloom rose up the color of blood
Scent of gardenia in the air
Breathe it in and wash away despair
Black seed grows there

It started raining
As I hit the street
I’m humming to the sound
Of wet beneath my feet
Lift my face to the sky
I feel so much better as I cry

Black seed in the middle of my room
Planted deep beneath the floorboards of gloom
Tore a hole in the rug
And a bloom rose up the color of blood
Scent of gardenia in the air
Breathe it in and wash away despair
Black seed grows there

Black seed in the middle of my room
(Into this violet light)
Planted deep beneath the floorboards of gloom
Tore a hole in the rug
(Surround me twilight)

And a bloom rose up the color of blood
Scent of gardenia in the air
(Into this violet light)
Breathe it in and wash away despair
Black seed grows there
(Surround me twilight)
