Anchors As I breach the surface My lungs are filled with lead As my body gets towed under My eyesight shifts to red You're an anchor in my stomach You're a bomb in disguise You're not the only thing that's pulling me under But to say you're not the problem would be a lie Once I'm filled with happiness And my organs feel alive You're the one to drag me back down And I know the anchor has arrived I'm pulled through all your sludge I'm pulled through all your ropes I'm pulled through all your insecurities And I begin to lose my hopes You say the storm above you Is rocking the sea and making you sad You say this is what's affecting me As you drown me twice as bad Please understand that you're an anchor Please understand it's not just him Please understand that all your anger Isn't excused by another's whim We are all anchors I am someone's too But until you admit you're my anchor I will leave this sea to sink with you
