lyrics

Anchor

Sparking my arc
Into your spine’s arch
Tornado eyes
And a hurricane heart

Lashed to the mast
While the Sirens laugh
Suffer this weather
And the aftermath

Can I spare these hands
To reach your scented foreign lands?
Is it worth the cost
When my fragile ship’s so tempest-tossed?

Frown to scorn
A tempest born
You’re a paper boat
I’m a raging storm

Laughing at the ocean’s swell
The moon’s salty taste
I know it well
Tonight, that satellite it fell

Can I spare these hands
To reach your scented foreign lands?
Is it worth the cost
When my fragile ship’s so tempest-tossed?

Tide recedes
Set me back out to sea
No compass
I’ll sail into the breech

Point out shimmering stars
Behind night’s charms
Is the mourning
Anchor up for a new start

Can I spare these hands
To reach your scented foreign lands?
Is it worth the cost
When my fragile ship’s so tempest-tossed?
