Botch - The End Of An Anchor lyrics

rate me

I was away for a while

But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me

Though I don't deserve it

I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts

Just one more last chance

I swear that I'll earn it

If you front me for now

I'm good for it I swear

I'm better now I swear

In earlier days, they'd persecute people

They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs

For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you

And still you allow me to walk free of pain

Though I punish myself

I will never settle

The debts I've incured for scorning the face

Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace

And though I once mocked you

I'm dying to pay for it now

I'm dying to pay for it now

So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down

And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound

To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound

And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get

I wasn't well for a while

I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me

And that seemed to hold me

That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go

On the strength of my own

Well, I should've known

That gets me nowhere

I've learned that now I swear

In earlier days, they'd persecute people

They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs

For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you

And still you allow me to walk free of pain

Though I punish myself

I will never settle

The debts I've incured for scorning the face

Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace

And though I once mocked you

I'm dying to pay for it now

I'm dying to pay for it now, now, now

So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down

And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound

To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound

And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get

Well, I wasn't sure that I could

Well, I wasn't sure that I could

Well, I wasn't sure that I could

But, I can
