you tried your best to bury in the ground
the walls you built are crumbling down
haunted by the shadows all around
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
the closer sometimes just wont 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
spread the ashes of your father
cause you're only treading water
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
spread the ashes of your father
'cause you're only treading water
you're only treading water
you're only treading water
