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?
lets 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?)
