Anchored Head

Don't you worry your head away

Morning will come and the past will subject to fade

All the regrets and all the words chattering in a pessimist way

It's lost me from you in the dragging night

I heard your whispers carry through the dusty floor,

And the undusted surfaces of this home of ghosts

You said you needed a little time to be alone

Never wanted anything more, more seemed too undeserving

You're fighting battles hoping someone would come along to end it all

To finally understand, and love you for whom you are

I did, I asked, there was nothing I wanted more.

But you refused to let me in

I wasn’t the prize, I never got the win.

Don’t wait in the day and night for that perfect person

I could be standing there, here with you

With all the love you need, all the tenderness for two

I’ll dust the shades to let the light shine through

I’ll clean you up, clean you to who you were before

Just break down this barrier

Burn off the padlock

Throw away that awful key

I’ll love you forever, forever, and forever more

I see the giant anchor holding your head bent towards the surface

I say it’s time to unhook you

Let you see the majestic world

Hold my hand,

This friendship will never let go, you anchored head

Let me be your regret you will never want to forget

And you’ll always be my 2 am late night shift

Not sleeping, talking

Conversing repetition, circling chatters around in our heads,

Our free heads,

Our clear minds,

Cause we’ll learn how to share and cope together

Define the fine lines
