Heart Like an Anchor

You've got an old rusty blade
In your razor still
And each time that you shave
You know that you will
Cut a little too deep
No matter how much you try
And your mirror's still cracked
So it does you no good
You keep seeing yourself
As less than you should
But you just keep on looking
No matter how hard you try
Is it better to be blind than disillusioned
Or asleep at the wheel
Than awake and not moving
Or is it all just the same to you
You've got a heart like an anchor
That keeps weighing you down
And a head like a clock hand
That keeps spinning you round
And you're tired and dizzy
And can't fall asleep where you lie
And your eyes are like search lights
With the bulbs burnt out
And your tongue's like a traitor
Who keeps pointing you out
In each word that you speak
No matter how much you lie
Is it better to be blind than disillusioned
Or asleep at the wheel
Than awake and not moving
Or is it all just the same to you
