Anchor Video (MV)

Can you taste the iron on their skin
They have bled and hardened
Cold and saltwater their only friends
Their heaviness is beautiful
But your arms weren't made to be winches
Sunlight is only so strong
The rope is only so long and the water is so, so deep
Stop tying yourself to anchors
You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger
Stop tying yourself to anchors
This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature
And your heart's a home for each sad stranger
But you gotta stop falling in love with anchors
Don't forget that you're a child of things that grow
You can't plant your roots in the salt
Boy, you can't drink the ocean
You're sailing on corpses
Chasing the ghosts of the deep with their lonely lures
And it's not love, no it's not love
To drown for the glow and pretend you don't see teeth
Stop tying yourself to anchors
You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger
Stop tying yourself to anchors
This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature
And if your sorrows were seeds
You could build an armada with the trees you've planted and grown
But you'd jump from the ship and drown in your fears
You're afraid of being alone
Stop tying yourself to anchors
You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger
Stop tying yourself to anchors
This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature
And your heart's a home for each sad stranger
But you gotta stop tying yourself to anchors
