The Anchors - Emery

And it hurt just to touch

On the words I said too much

I was just a kid

I thought that I could not be caught and much less by a moment

But the words came flooding from my mouth

Some things will never surface

They capsized so long ago

I didn’t want to still be sinking

But the anchor, won’t let me go

Those things that we thought, were never there

Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere

From your birth you were born in to this

Never knowing when the walls would crack

In your defense you were so unprepared

You said the things that you can’t take back

Those things that we thought were never there

Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere

I want to explain this but nothing’s making sense

There’s poison in my blood

It claimed both of our lives

That world we thought important

Crumbled into nothing

Will words define me?

I am more than a moment

Will words define me?

I am more than a moment

That day behind me, but I cannot shake it

I am more than a moment, more than a moment

And the beauty left my eyes

I was standing there with the rest of my life

Knowing I would never be the same

Knowing I had changed

I had become more than what I had dreamed

The look of the youth but with hands stained

The look of the youth but with my hands stained

Tell them I’m sorry

Tell them I’m sorry

Does she know I’m sorry?

Guilty, guilty, I am guilty

How were those words in my head?

(I am so sorry for what I have done)

For somebody else, somebody else (they all asked me why and I know)

I wish that I could have said (I know I still can’t stop myself)

Anything else, anything else

I want to explain this but nothing’s making sense

There’s poison in my blood

It claimed both of our lives

That world we thought important

Crumbled into nothing but

The bitter treasures so elementary
