Throw down the anchor
Water's only getting deeper
You swallow the anger
You pride is strong but your body's getting weaker
At night you pray, you always say
You think the day will come
The morning breaks, you're still afraid
To do what must be done
How long?
How far? How bad does it have to get?
How long?
How come you ain't ready to go there yet?
As much as I love you and wanna help
There's some things you gotta do for yourself
How long? Is too late?
Is too gone? How long?

Can you see the lighthouse
Shining on you right now
Hold your breath and jump out
Don't look back and don't ask how
You pray tonight to see a sign
Up in the stars above
But now it's time, they're all aligned
Don't pass the moment up
How long?
How far? How bad does it have to get?
How long?
How come you ain't ready to go there yet?
As much as I love you and wanna help
There's some things you gotta do for yourself
How long? Is too late?
Is too gone? How long?

The flame has flickered long enough
Black smoke filling up your lungs
If you're gonna do it
Then do it now
'Cause the ship is going down, down, down
The flame has flickered long enough
Black smoke filling up your lungs
If you're gonna do it
Then do it now
'Cause the ship is going down, down, down
