My words are anchors
They hold me back
My words are anchors

And

My words are anchors

They hold me back
My words are anchors
And I'm easily attached


They teach me every day
How much I've failed to progress

I try to live my life in reverie
But those thoughts will never set me free


My childhood dreams cover these sidewalks in chalk
Will they ever be reached?
Or will the rain just wash them away?

Time keeps disappearing as I lose my youth
Every dream ends with a promise
A promise of something greater than this

Whispers of the past have traced an outline in my flesh
But there's nothing left to show
From the burden left around my neck


I just cant let my life be forgotten


If I can make it through these days of longing
Then I'll learn to sing a song of hope
But sentiment is all I have to remind me

That I was meant for more than this
