Anchors Gone

washing youth away in the river
getting found and getting kicked to the ground
fingers spread are easy to maim
clenched fists are harder to break

one day they'll be turned over
hearts won't be welded shut
find the axe to break them open
now that your anchor's gone

shoes are worn and the roads are broken
being led away from those you love
bodies weak and you can no longer shout
you shake all over and your knees give out
waking up in a prison cell
consolation scratched on your wall
years go by and you hear a whisper
and you can't believe the sound

one day they'll be turned over
hearts won't be welded shut
find the axe to break them open
now that your anchor's gone

now you're let out
running bare footed on the ground
free to speak and shout
waiting more years than you can count

one day they'll be turned over
hearts won't be welded shut
find the axe to break them open
now that your anchor's gone
