lyrics

I sunk my anchor in you
when the waves rose and the wind blew
I made you my safety, put my faith in you
but when the storm came
and sang its refrain
when we sank in the breakers of shame
we both moved.

My head how he battles my heart
apposing forces will tear me apart
I've been to the doctor but the healing won't start
take two for the pain
they'll shut off your brain
but the memories of you still remain like damaged art.

Now six years later and still
I choke and I cough on this bitter pill
too hard to swallow, so i don't think i will
so take a deep breath
sink down to the depths
and put all the memories to death,
so goodbye guilt.
