These days I'm finding it hard to believe in myself
I've been treading open water for so long, and I can't find a way out
It's becoming clear, no matter how high I keep my head
I can never reclaim, from shallow graves, the dreams I've laid there
Although you'll try to resurrect this mind, what's dead is gone
Carry the corpse home
Glimpsing memories of a life lived through hollow truths
My glaring failures
My conceited youth
We all carry our burdens like anchors
Bringing me to my knees
The weight of devastation
I pushed aside the lessons in search of vindication
Vindication
My redemption, my undoing
My inability to overcome my desperation
This burning in my bones
The cost of forgetting, they've all let go
My hopes,
My hopes are drowning in these crippling dunes
Dragging anchors,
Dragging anchors toward my distant dreams
The tides of time were washed out long ago
They won't be back until I sleep
So I sought refuge in community
And abandoned who we were all meant to be
The burden of these lesions we keep
Restricting all of us from futures we seek
Sisyphean dreams
We all carry our burdens like anchors
We all carry our burdens like anchors
We hold this end unguarded
Free your voices
Free your failing hearts
Inhale your exile
Exhale unified
