Birdeatsbaby - Anchor Lyrics
I have tried to back down in the eyes of strangersThey will know my allThat my pride comes after a fall, a fallThen you begin to ask the questions to end questioningWhy, the art is growing silent in my armsIt’s a long a way to the anchorFathoms under waterYou are running out of breath to carryYour lungs are not readyIt’s not enough to save meAnd you don’t have the strength of manyI denied, I smiled, I swallowed like a willing childI saw you guessed but you could never save a sinking shipwreckDon’t be upset, it’s just you haven’t worked it out yetThere’s still time just don’t be blameful if you don’t have mineIt’s a long a way to the anchorFathoms under waterYou are running out of tricks to tempt meEven if you move meI’d still be a greedy little thingTo have around and watch you drowningCome home to me, I won’t be grateful but I will not leave your sideAnd I’ll be the anger you have always known it’s meSo now you’ve won, just let the water fill your lungsI’ll watch and pray cos everybody has to die someday
