ANCHOR LYRICS

1. Atlantis

Awoken by thunder and thrown to chaos. From a broken past I weather a storm that still lasts. I try to overcome but still those years won't be undone. Caught under the illusion that this was how it always had to be. Now I am sick and tired of thinking life already conquered me. Desperately. Relentlessly. We need to feel OK. I was a young kid with a lot of rage, with nowhere to go and nowhere to feel safe. Have you been there or are you still? A restless mind with too much time to kill. Always on the run from life and its harsh reality. But I feel that I won't be running that much longer. I admit my wrongs, welcome change to finally move on. There is no solace in hating the world and there is no redemption in repeating what's old. I will lay these habits to rest and restore peace and confidence. To love and to live, to feel and to be felt, as a human compassionate and king, living life with open eyes, for a better world for all and future worth fighting for. To not give in to distractions that only will drown the soul, to not give up when life gets too hard. To find my own. I need to find my own. To find my own. I need to... There is no solace in hating the world and there is no redemption in repeating what's old.

2. Walls

2009, still fighting to speak our minds, staying afloat when the masses are kept down. Trying to make sense of these desperate times. We can still set us free from this cold-hearted world. Pollute our minds, the earth and the sky. Force fed us lies before our jaded eyes. Pollute our minds, the earth and the sky. Destruction till the last breath of life. The powers that be; unjust and obsolete. We know they only have served the bloodthirsty, they've never seen the hungry, never seen the cold. Never cared for those who were hunted from their homes. They pollute our minds, the earth and the sky. Force fed us lies before our jaded eyes. Pollute our minds, the earth and the sky. Destruction till the last breath of life. No love, no humanity. How can there be no love, no humanity? How can there be no love, no humanity? Set us free, set us free! no love! Darkness is closing in, the years of innocence are gone. It's time to put the fist down. To take back what is ours. There will be vengeance for the screams they left ignored.

3. Violence

4. Vanity

Waking up to another day of self-contempt, staring into this deep mirror. I seem to have lost myself. I've disdained this image for so long, I can't bear this cross no more. Trying to break free from this reflection staring back at me. I close my eyes and wish that the pain it causes just would vanish. My youth in oppression from this cynical culture. Fooled and broken down to slave on my knees before this sickness. Give me strength to deny submission. Death to vanity, look what it made me, broke my identity to sell me a new.
