WOLVES & MACHINES LYRICS

"Anchors"

Stay
I know there are anchors you need to sink
But my anchors they stayed in your doorway
Reform the frame

I swear
When you drifted out just to get away
I built and I walked the plank willingly
We don't drift the same

I raise my eyes and see
It's hard to not miss everything
I drew up this plan
Abandoned the land
Let the sea show it's teeth to me

Love, I know there were anchors
But if they stayed in your doorway
Could they ever sink in?

Love, I know there were beacons
That you could've shown me
That I wouldn't let myself see

This union's grown crueler with time
You see me through scales on your eyes
But the places we sleep
Feel no better to me
And I've got all the friends that I need
So please find fonder feelings for me

Wait
I thought the distance could medicate
The missteps and mistakes that we had made
Now I'm lost

They told me to go for a year or three
The thought of it killed our monogamy
But I served that sentence well

So I'll cast that ring into the sea
I'll take the ocean, my pride
As my bride to be
As you drift away

Now I know
I can't use these strangers or witnesses
To replace all we've listed as damages
So sincerely I thank you
My confidante, my concubine

I made toxic the streams of our history
Before this love could ever take its root in me
Now the color fades
