Anchor Down

I don't really think that

I'm ready for another Chicago winter

So you can stop making my bones feel cold

I swear that emptiness lives inside your chest

You're the reason you fell far away

From what brought out your best

Don't get me wrong I wish a lot of

Things were the way they used to be

The streets that used to make

Me feel alive just make me feel alone

The holes in the wall get bigger every year

It's hard to think that some people

In this world look at

Me with the same eyes as yours

I've been breaking all ten fingers

For you and you wouldn't

Even lift one up for me

Appreciation's something you lost in

The dirt that's on your hands and knees

But I'm never gonna be just a hole in the wall

You can anchor down your feet and say

F**k the past and everyone that dragged you here

I'm not putting myself on a pedestal

You need to stand up for yourself

And who you claim you used to be

It's hard to think that some people in this

World look at me with the same eyes as yours

I've been breaking all ten fingers for you

And you wouldn't even lift one up for me

Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt

That's on your hands and knees

Anchor down your feet

Say f**k the past and everyone

That dragged you here

Just stand up for yourself and

Who you claim you used to be

It's hard to think that some people

In this world look at me with

The same eyes as yours

I've been breaking all ten fingers for you

And you wouldn't even lift one up for me

Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt

That's on your hands and knees
