Foreign Anchor

Carved out in letters they left for us
Ashes in every drink
Severed the head, covered the body
Curtain, the heavy sleep
Laid up in waste, savor the taste
Pen will be called to sword
Arrogant courage into the rot
The mind always favors war

I would carry your voices
I would carry your weight up in arms
Impenetrable fortress
Of tired and distorted arcs

I fear the worst is coming
We must acknowledge it
Detach my heart
Nowhеre to go
The head isn't minе
It's made out of stone

I would fall into myself like a foreign anchor
Chain of my despair drags the weight through my lungs
Tired, breathless, unprepared, I am suffocated
My cage is everywhere

Diplomatic acts of love
I'm cast into the sea
Ripping departure, I am the rot
Decaying inside of me
Imprisoned inside
Silent we die
Imprisoned inside
Silent we die

Venomous
Infectious nature of the heart
Dissociative
It ruins everything I touch

Pull me back out
Pull me back out
Paralyzed

I would fall into myself like a foreign anchor
Chain of my despair drag the weight through my lungs
Tired, breathless, unprepared, I am suffocated
My cage is everywhere

Doesn't matter where I go
Still sinking further below

Pull me back out
Pull me back out
