Anchor Down

Intro: I don't really think that I'm ready for another Chicago winter So you can stop making my bones feel cold I swear that emptiness lives inside your chest You're the reason you fell far away from what brought out your best Don't get me wrong, I wish a lot of things were the way they used to be The streets that used to make me feel alive just make me feel alone The holes in the wall get bigger every year Interlude: It's hard to think that some people in this world look at me With the same eyes as yours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you And you wouldn't even lift one up for me Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt that's on your hands and knees Interlude: (x 2) But I'm never gonna be just a hole in the wall You can anchor down your feet and say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here I'm not putting myself on a pedestal You need to stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be It's hard to think that some people in this world look at me With the same eyes as yours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you And you wouldn't even lift one up for me Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt that's on your hands and knees (Mute interlude: Anchor down your feet, say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be!) Bridge: It's hard to think that some people in this world look at me With the same eyes as yours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you And you wouldn't even lift one up for me Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt that's on your hands and knees
