"Anchors" lyrics - THE AMITY AFFLICTION

THE AMITY AFFLICTION
"Anchors"

I have so many anchors
So many, so many
(So many anchors)
Far too many to be sailing on these seas
(They're pulling me under
And I just want to be freed
But I'm just drowning and clasping)
To the tinder and twine
Not the firm planks and rope
That I know to be mine
That I know to be mine

I have so many anchors
Bound to my feet
It feels like I'll forever be bound
To the bottom of these seas

(Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me)
Just rust and decay
(As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?)

There are sirens watching me
(And they whisper and smile to me
And I'm screaming out to them)
Please take these anchors from my feet
OH
I see the moon up above
I've failed my hope
I've thrown out my love
But I still want to live
I still want to hope
I still want to give
I still want to grow
(I was dead and gone)
I was cold and alone
(I was weighed down and buried)
When will I find my way home

(Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me)
Just rust and decay
(As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?)

Oh oh oh

Let's get it
When will I find my way home?
Let's get it
When will I find my way home?

(Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me)
Just rust and decay
(As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?)

As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
(When will I find my way home?)
