Anchor

Is it endless? I'd be listless
I'd feel if I could end this overwhelmed innocence upon me now
So long I have waited
I feel it's all related - apart from me
Though it's gone you see?

I know I'm not of use - though I must like the abuse
All of time's regrets have fallen upon me now

The longest days have settled in
Around the things you can't defend
I know where you've been
These slow hands I've planned
You don't pick up the phone - you don't pick up the phone
But I know when you're home
I feel so low

The longest days have cut between
A way to justify the means
The ends of what they need
Could be our firearm remedy

I know i'm a part of it
As I fall I feel this old anchor around me
As it pulls me down

Oh I know it's up to you - oh I know it's up to you
Won't you share some kind words with me
As I spend - my friend - the end?
