The Amity Affliction
Anchors
[Intro: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
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
[Verse 1: Joel Birch]
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
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
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?
[Verse 2: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
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!
[Bridge: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I see the moon, up above!
I've failed my hope, I've thrown out my love
(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?!
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
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?
[Breakdown: Joel Birch]
Let's get it!
When will I find my way home?!
Let's get it!
When will I find my way home?!
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
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?
[Outro: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out toward the sky!
When will I find my way home?
