Fight the Sea

歌詞

Rotting driftwood on the foreign shores Spilling out into the ocean floor And the memory's all you left without a trace Paralyzed with the thoughts receeding The current sweeps you with its silent bleeding Through the heart into the darkest place Turn around, there's nothing to see here Run away, no reason to be here It's the ghost who never goes away Turn around, and leave this behind now See the ground as it bleeds into sky now You fight the sea, you're always going to drown All the secrets that you're holding All the memories you hide All the frail thoughts that echo in the corners of your mind They won't even last a moment The will soon be swept away When the ocean takes you in its arms and carries you away You carry all your burdens on the cross around your neck You take whatever's left that you salvage from the wreck And that haunted past will follow you like a lost dog on the beach Nipping at your trail till you've drifted out of reach Turn around, there's nothing to see here Run away, no reason to be here It's the ghost who never goes away Turn around, and leave this behind now See the ground as it bleeds into sky now You fight the sea, you're always going to drown The broken-line horizon and the castles made of sand You tried to hold it in your hand, you tried to understand it But the ocean asks the questions, and it holds the answers too It dissolves away the lies about the things you thought you knew
