Anchors (2012 Demo)

Time, an illusion of where we are in living
Clocks giving value to every moment
We breathe. we blink. we speak
Whose to say we are not free?
Who are you to say we can't be free?

We're building foundations on failures of our predecessors
Our fathers before our own
I'm holding onto places, dreams
Of who I used to be
Self discovery
I am my own devil giving the coldest shoulder
I can't deny you if I tried
I can't deny you

Sons and daughters contradict their own names
What defines their beliefs
The center of their being
We're all at fault
We are all pointing fingers and shouting damnation, damnation

Put down your knives, your guns
We can see eye to eye
If we try

I want a world of understanding
Of caring hands on broken chests
Mending wounds of children losing hope
Give me hope, give me strength to see, to speak, to breathe your name
A burning grace into our hearts
Like wildfire we spread this word, this love

I want to show you love
My very core
I want to show you hope
