about

About:
There is a burden that we all feel when we are stuck and can't for whatever reason find the strength, be it of mind or body, to break free. It can be extremely tormenting and haunting. This song is dedicated to anyone who didn't give up and serves as a reminder that patience and understanding can serve us all in the bleakest moments.

lyrics

From the day I became a man
I’ve had these anchors hanging from my neck
Dragging me down
Waiting to catch hold of something strong

All the decisions I have made
I am chained to this world I tried to leave
The weight of consciousness
Tie me down, Hold me back

From the day I became a man
I’ve had these anchors hanging from my neck
Dragging me down
Waiting to catch hold of something strong

Tie me down, hold me back
Tie me down
Tie me down, hold me back
Tie me down

Even on the highest mountains
I reach forth to the sky
These shackles bind me, (relentless)
The stars seem ever so close, yet always so far away
I will wait for the day, I am set free

I will wait for the day I am set free
I will tear down the sky
I will tear; I will tear down the sky
I will tear
I will rip it down
Tear it down, tear down the sky
Disassemble piece by piece
Erase and Improve

From the day I became a man
I’ve had these anchors hanging from my ankles
Dragging me down
Waiting to catch hold of something strong

All the decisions I have made
I am chained to this world I tried to leave
The weight of consciousness
Tie me down, Hold me back

My reflection stares back at me
in the clearest of night skies
Waiting... Always Waiting
For a chance to break free

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
