Someone please turn on the lights
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
How can I
Find my way from this little cellar they call life
Down here I tear out my veins and tie them to the chair
This goes on and on and on
Unraveled in contortions I run for the door
This goes on and on and on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
To my own destruction
I fall face first, I fall face first
Watch me descend
I'm on display
This cycle of human decay
I feel it lurking in the corners
I watch it tracking up my arm
I am the anchor, I am the anchor
I am the anchor, I am the anchor
Bound to my existence
Bound to my existence
I make peace with the parasites I live among
Paralyzed, I watch them colonize
As I sit here and just fall apart
The beggars and choosers are all the same
The default reaction will never change
So, I catch a glimpse of my own reflection
From a shard of glass left on the floor
The beggars and choosers are all the same
The default reaction will never change
It's time to restart
Reassemble what's left of my body
It's time to restart
Pick me up and walk away
Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor
Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor
Walk right out the door
Walk right out the door
I'll change for the better
It can't get much worse
I'll swallow my own pride
And then accept defeat
Accept defeat
Accept defeat
Where am I Someone please turn on the lights I'm not fine, I'm not fine How can I Find my way from this little cellar they call life Down here I tear out my veins and tie them to the chair This goes on and on and on Unraveled in contortions I run for the door This goes on and on and on Hold on Hold on Hold on To my own destruction I fall face first, I fall face first Watch me descend I'm on display This cycle of human decay I feel it lurking in the corners I watch it tracking up my arm I am the anchor, I am the anchor I am the anchor, I am the anchor Bound to my existence Bound to my existence I make peace with the parasites I live among Paralyzed, I watch them colonize As I sit here and just fall apart The beggars and choosers are all the same The default reaction will never change So, I catch a glimpse of my own reflection From a shard of glass left on the floor The beggars and choosers are all the same The default reaction will never change It's time to restart Reassemble what's left of my body It's time to restart Pick me up and walk away Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor Walk right out the door Walk right out the door I'll change for the better It can't get much worse I'll swallow my own pride And then accept defeat Accept defeat Accept defeat Explain Request ×
