Josh Woodward Fight The Sea Lyrics

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
