Anchor - Birdeatsbaby

I have tried to back down

In the eyes of strangers they will

Know my all

That my pride comes after a fall, a fall

So you begin to ask

The questions to end questioning

Why, the art is growing

Silent

It’s a long a way to the anchor

Fathoms under water

You are running out of breath to carry

Your lungs are not ready

It’s not enough to save me

And you don’t have the

Strength of many

I denied, I smiled

I swallowed like a willing child

I saw you guessed but you could

Never save a sinking shipwreck

Don’t be upset, it’s just you

Haven’t worked it out yet

There’s still time just don’t be blameful

If you don’t have mine

It’s a long a way to the anchor

Fathoms under water

You are running out of tricks

To tempt me

Even if you move me

I’d still be a greedy little thing

To have around and watch

You drowning

Come home to me

I won’t be grateful

But I will not leave your side

And I’ll be the anchor

You have always known it’s me

So now you’ve won

Just let the water fill your lungs

I’ll watch and pray 'cause everybody

Has to die someday
