Hold to Your Anchors

Faithless promises that nothing is going to bring me down
Some things never mend - they sort of just stop being talked about
You promised me in time it would be over, over
and peace would turn all worry into light
Yet here with every hour growing older, older
I long only to feel once more alive

You said, "have a little faith - work on building hope and trust"
But it's hard to work on things that never really worked for us
You told me if I held onto my anchors, anchors
No storm this sinking ship could ever break
To die by putting faith in fallen saviors, saviors
and drown by trusting you was my mistake

You promised me the world - this bitter, cruel, and unlit place
Our heros must be fools - for who desires to hold such weight?
I once believed in love, but Dear, I'm so much older now
What's followed from afar will only leave you lost and turned around

You told me if I held onto my anchors, anchors

No storm this sinking ship could ever break

To die by putting faith in fallen saviors, saviors

and drown by trusting you was my mistake

You promised me in time it would be over, over

and peace would turn all worry into light

Yet here with every hour growing older, older

I long only to feel once more alive
