Fear the Tides - Anchors Lyrics

With your back turned to me
You'll never see what lurks deep beneath
The ocean I rest in
We face the consequences left behind
A life torn apart
By the chances we've taken
Water fills up my lungs
Drowning in all that I thought I had once loved
And now it's just me
Against a world that's forsaken

What I get from the pain
Is what drives me forward
Stroke of the brush
Spreading blood on the canvas
Can't wait to get to the other side
Sick of finding places to hide
My sweat from my back
Is my trophy claimed
Mind on attack
Riddled with the bloodstains
I'll tear apart all the blatant lies
The ocean rages in my eyes

I'm sinking deeper
To be lost and never found
I'm sinking deeper
To be lost and never found

And even though I'm now braver inside
I still fear the tides

I'll crawl on the ocean floor
Still looking for something more
I gotta find that part of me
I'm stranded out at sea
I'll crawl on the ocean floor
Still looking for something more
I gotta find that part of me

I guess this is it,
You just get what you get
Another ship sunk to be riddled with death
No voice on the radio
We're sinking all alone
I guess this is it,
You just get what you get
Another ship sunk to be riddled with death
No voice on the radio
We're sinking all alone

You can't hang onto yourself
You don't have to try hang onto yourself
It can't be done
And that is salvation
Memento mori
Be mindful of death
But you will see
The knowledge of death
It helps you
You can't hold on

Caressed by the rage in the waves
Suffocating on useless hate
We learn a lesson the hard way
Caressed by the rage in the waves
Suffocating on useless hate
We learn a lesson the hard way

Take back your direction
Learn to love your reflection
