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

This song
I really 'like' (like is the wrong word but the one I'm looking for escapes me) this song, particularly the melody of the "Turn around" parts.

That's all.
