i've seen oceans
commit atrocities
that have been washed away silently
i kept my mouth shut
and left the scenery
i swore i'd never return again

i regret.
i turn the clock back
i felt the waves come crashing in
i felt heavy hands
under my skin again
and i can't seem to shake the fear

i want to forget
but the water's clear
and all i can do is forgive
and i know
i shouldn't be so weak
because what good did it ever do in the end

i just want to forget
but i can't have that
because the water's clear and i can see myself again
