The Anchors Lyrics
2 ContributorsThe Anchors LyricsAnd it hurt just to touch
On the words I said too much
I was just a kid
I thought that I could not be caught and much less by a moment
But the words came flooding from my mouth
Some things will never surface
They capsized so long ago
I didn't want to still be sinking
But the anchor, won't let me go
Those things that we thought, were never there
Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere
From your birth you were born in to this
Never knowing when the walls would crack
In your defense you were so unprepared
You said the things that you can't take back
Those things that we thought were never there
Those ghosts we brought with us everywhere
I want to explain this but nothing's making sense
There's poison in my blood
It claimed both of our lives
That world we thought important
Crumbled into nothing
Will words define me?
I am more than a moment
Will words define me?
I am more than a moment
That day behind me, but I cannot shake it
I am more than a moment, more than a moment
And the beauty left my eyes
I was standing there with the rest of my life
Knowing I would never be the same
Knowing I had changed
I had become more than what I had dreamed
The look of the youth but with hands stained
The look of the youth but with my hands stained
Tell them I'm sorry
Tell them I'm sorry
Does she know I'm sorry?
Guilty, guilty, I am guilty
How were those words in my head? (I am so sorry for what I have done)
For somebody else, somebody else (they all asked me why and I know)
I wish that I could have said (I know I still can't stop myself)
Anything else, anything else
I want to explain this but nothing's making sense
There's poison in my blood
It claimed both of our lives
That world we thought important
Crumbled into nothing but
The bitter treasures so elementary
The Curse of Perfect Days Lyrics
3 ContributorsThe Curse of Perfect Days LyricsAnd you knew exactly when, you gave your heart and all of it
Without a thought of what you meant, you knew you couldn't live without this
So make your excuses now, that time has stolen all that you've earned
Make your excuses now, that time has stolen her
Time has stolen her
Tell me that I'm a fool
That I've exaggerated the situation
'Cause I've never been scared like this
Of losing more than I have to give
It's so unfair
I believed I could handle this
I swore I could fix everything
But I told myself lies all of these years
I told myself lies, all of these years
I told myself lies, all of these years
The fear that moves in and stays here
The words that replay in your ears
The grip that you held has weakened
Was the life that was yours forsaken
But I can't take my eyes off of you
And we were still so cool
Our bodies smooth and young (bodies smooth and young)
The dreams of getting older
Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)
The curse of perfect days
You forget just what you've made (forget just what you've made)
And you find yourself just praying
For something more than this life
Something more than this life
We wait for the doctors, to prescribe their medicines
And hold their bad news, as if later it will make more sense
But I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)
Just waiting for my strength to give (I thought I could handle this)
But this is the rock, I broke myself against (I swore I could fix anything)
We believed we'd have our way (And we did, and we did)
The memories we have made (Everyday was the best day of my life)
I could never repay what I owe (Or replace the book we wrote)
Even though I read the ending before the start
I would have never changed a single part
Tell me I'm a fool, tell me I'm just scared
Say I'm such a drama queen, it's not even fair
And let me see your eyes, the love that's right behind
And I'll promise you
That it will never die
It will never die
And we were still so cool
Our bodies smooth and young
The dreams of getting older
Were never supposed to come
The curse of perfect days
You forget just what you've made
And you find yourself just praying
For something more than this life
I want so much more than this life
