The Ocean

I was afraid of the ocean So I dove in and drowned Cause if you stand on the cliff and wait No one will come around You're on your own You're on your own You're on your own Descending under the surface now I see them gathering around And I know That all I've got is to sink or swim Or they will drag me down I'd rather hit the bottom than lie in between Surrounded by my demons, lost into the abyss Cause it's only when you're there, so distant from the top That you will find the strength to push yourself back up And I don't care if there's no one up there waiting for me Cause either way it's there that I'm going It's buried under the water that I can finally breathe Here the beating of my heart is deafening It don't matter what you've got They're still coming back for more Just believe me when I say You're on your own For every time that I failed And every choice that I made Thought I could count on you And I'm the one to blame Now every choice that I'll make And every time that I'll fail I will make it on my own I was afraid of the ocean So I dove in and drowned Cause if you stand on the cliff and wait No one will come around I will make it on my own
