Anchors - Ruston Kelly

Will it bring shame or leave stains on my namesake

When I’m feeling weak looking up underneath it all?

Chasing the poison, my choices are repulsive

But you’ll never find me when I’m lost inside the fog

She’s raising her anchor

She’s looking to shore

The lighthouse is burned out now

Over the water I can hear her calling my name

But I got to watch her float away

And she’s never growing, just sinking below it

And I’ve let it pull me down 'cause I’ve been getting numb

And I’ve just ignored it, the storm’s end, the warning

The friends that make you forget will only make you dumb

She’s raising her anchor

She’s looking to shore

The lighthouse is burned out now

Over the water I can hear her calling my name

But I got to watch her float away

She’s raising her anchor

She’s looking to shore

The lighthouse is burned out now

Over the water I can hear her calling my name

But I got to watch her float away
