The End Of An Anchor lyrics
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
