The Anchor

[Intro]
I talk like I'm not fucking sick
I hide feelings when I struggle with
My mind even when it comes to this
Next album's dope. Last album's shit
I said that last year and the year before
I say it now and I'll heed it more
Without a weight, I can't reach the floor
I float aimless in the ether's course

[Verse 1]
The long distance is closed off
I'm lost now in my own box
I latch on my friend's tinder matches
In a pack of wolves, I'm a lone fox
I'm casual when I don't talk
But all emotions provoke thought
So if I open up, then I won't stop
You'll be pushed away by my soul's rot
I wear the stench like it's perfume
But only when I'm in blurred view
I deodorize when I serve you
Only denying the cursed truth
I wonder what would a bird do
If suddenly it was the worm's food?
Would it fight back when it should lose?
Would it take flight as it's first move
Or would it accept fate and play dead
Stay still and face death?
With it's beak held high toward the grim reaper
Wait patiently for the pain's end?
So, where do I fit in?
Everybody watching me has been an eye witness
To me being the bird, the worm is my image
Since I'm hidden, there never was any time given
Provided I stay alive long enough to coincide
With the ones I know I'll ride or die with
So never will time slip
My mind while I'm trying to survive
I will fight to the end of the line
Laid flat at the ER
The screen's beeping and my life's spent
Until then, I'm in flight on the high end
Of consciousness where it shines red
I'm blinded by the brightness

[Bridge]
Still I recognize all that brings me down
Chains were pulling me by the wrists 'til now
I don't want to be here
Never mind what I'd think before
Pull me down. Let me sink some more
Give me structure. I can't take being this insecure

[Chorus]
Oh - I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home - I can hold you down so you won't be lost no more

[Verse 2]
My mind's a poker table I count my chips
I'm discombobulated. It sounds like this

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Oh, I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home, I can hold you down so you won't be lost no More
Oh, I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home, I can hold you down so you won't be lost no more
(I talk like I'm not fucking sick
I hide feelings when I struggle with
My mind even when it comes to this
Next album's dope. Last album's shit
I said that last year and the year before
I say it now and I'll heed it more
Without a weight, I can't reach the floor
I float aimless in the ether's course.)
