Bound to anchors,
We drown at sea
Swallow our pride
And accept our defeat
Abandon your prayers
Open your eyes
Accept this is real
Weight of the world,
Crushing your dreams.
Every lie we're fed,
Pulls us to our knees
If I find a way out,
I'm dragged back down.
Where's my relief?
We flee like rats, from sinking ships
And when the time comes
We'll be the only ones left on this desolate earth
Forging hope from ruin
We'll find our place
And as I'm dragged to the depths
Of this violent sea
Through this wasteland of false dreams
I'll find myself
I'll find my way,
I'll find my way back to the surface
Past all the broken promises
And empty words
Fighting against the unyielding current
Unparalleled by all those surrounding me
If this is what will set me free
Then I can be who I was meant to be
Bound to anchors,
We drown at sea
Swallow our pride
And accept our defeat
Abandon your prayers
Open your eyes
Accept this is real
Weight of the world,
Crushing your dreams.
Every lie we're fed,
Pulls us to our knees
If I find a way out,
I'm dragged back down.
Where's my relief?
Through the constant struggle
Of right and wrong
I'll find myself
Without the air to breathe
Misguided on this path
To a place where I can be
The person I want to be
I want to be
I'm leaving behind, the person I used to be.
And all the fairweather friends,
That never cared about me.
All those who pushed me down.
And showed a lack of humanity.
I've never seen through the lies,
With such great clarity.
I. Am. Free.
To live the life I choose to lead.
These eyes will see greatness,
You'll never take that from me.
