Lewis Counting Backwards Lyrics

pouring salt into the sea
could not begin to repay
every misstep that you took
or mend all the holes you've made

tossed upon the waves (the shakey ground)
the strongest rocks will be worn down (i've come undone)
your efforts rest within the ground
from nowhere to nothing
the hopes you hide inside (this isn't all i have found)
ravaged by the insincere,
the grasping hands will disappear,
from nowhere to nothing

what is necessary,
now that the marrow has been dried,
is to keep on pushing forward,
hope the sun will bring new life

tossed upon the waves (the shakey ground)
the strongest rocks will be worn down (i've come undone)
your efforts rest within the ground
from nowhere to nothing
the hopes you hide inside (this isn't all i have found)
ravaged by the insincere,
the grasping hands will disappear,
from nowhere to nothing

set out on your own, (on shakey ground)
running from unhappiness, (i've come undone)
reactions become meaningless,
from nowhere to nothing
crashing from the wall, (this isn't all i have found)
could you set things right again,
breathe into the dust again
from nowhere to nothing
