lyrics

AN anchored heart used to feel so safe
Used to keep you from floating away like a feather untethered
Secret fears that you had came true, made you
Wonder what you were anchored to
Oh the playbill was so different

Chains feel like love by another name
And you’ve been looking for a brand new way to make the same mistake

It’s slurry words begging you to stay
Restless soul saying walk away
How did you end up here anyway?
The house on a rock can still be set aflame
One taste of another tree
Up and broke all the gravity
Shackle-born forever we
Are all held down by the weight of love

The heart beats blood and love so deep
Into wild veins that forever plead
to be filled with trust or unholy lust
a worn out oath on an unworn tongue
now a wildfire that you can’t outrun
were you fools in love?
Was that what is was?

You were on your knees begging for escape
Now you’re praying for just one more day to make the same mistakes

Are we better off
Making all the wrong choices
Hearing all the voices
Drinking all the wrong poisons ?
Are we better off than not
Making all the wrong choices
Hearing all the voices
Making all the wrong noises ?
