Lyrics
H2O
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You tried your best to bury in the ground
A place, a face, a very small town
The walls you built are crumbling down
Haunted by the shadows all around
And yeah, it was forever ago
The scars are more painful than you'll know
The ghosts in your heart are alive
Spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived
Then you're only treading water
You feel like you can never get it right
Sticks and stones have given up the fight
Cause words cut sharper than a knife
And losses become larger than life
And yeah, it was forever ago
The closer sometimes just won't stay closed
The ghosts in your heart are alive
Spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived
Then you're only treading water
If you're lost in the dark
Then you're only treading water
Release to the wind
Spread the ashes of your father
Cause you're only treading water
Release me
Let me go
Release me
Let me go
Release me
And yeah, it was forever ago
But the past has a deadly undertoe
The ghosts in your heart are alive
Spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived
Then you're only treading water
If you're lost in the dark
Then you're only treading water
Release to the wind
Spread the ashes of your father
'Cause you're only treading water
Yeah, you're only treading water (let me go)
You're only treading water (release me)
