I, The Anchor

Set Things Right


I’m not the sail that takes you there
I am the anchor that holds you back
I’m not the raft that keeps you dry
I am the anchor, the sinking wreck

No, you can’t just leave me here
This is not the promise you made
Stay with me, just stay awake
I know we can, I know
Well, I can’t bear your complaining but you’re too tired to see this
I can’t remember how long it has been I’ve seen your eyes this cold

Let go my hand, leave me here all behind
So scared to death but nothing left to lose
I tried, I failed and now I surrender

Cut the rope, you’re better off this way
Don’t drown with me, I’m too deep to save
I am the wreck - I, the anchor
You’re wasting time, no one hears you pray
Don’t drown with me, let me slip away
I am the wreck - I, the anchor

Don’t look back, don’t look back
And keep in mind we tried it over and over again
I’ve got to find another fucking way to work this out
Stay longer ‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Never thought if it could work this way
Let’s sail away from the shoreline into darkness
The air that I breathe is choking me

I’m not the ship that saves you
I am the wave that breaks you
The sinking wreck
I’m not the raft that keeps you
I am the storm that takes you
The sinking wreck

Cut the rope, you’re better off this way
Don’t drown with me, I’m too deep to save
