Let Go Anchor

Still not quite awake
Pen in my hand, phone at my ear
Sometimes life feels fake
Where have they gone, my plans for the year

Someone’s pulling the strings
Pulling me over the edge
My thoughts swim in high tide oceans
My brain’s still on the ledge

Let go anchor
This ship is bursting at the seams
Beware the tanker
And its poisonous streams

Unready and unsure
Waves riding high, crashing down
A storm I can’t endure
Collecting the remains of all thoughts that have drowned

Nobody would drink up this mess
The flood wouldn’t stop
Still I’m hanging on, learning the ropes
As I scream from atop

Let go anchor
This ship is bursting at the seams
Beware the tanker
And its poisonous streams
(repeat)

At least there is one island left
An island of forgetting
A place for letting go
Peace I can find anytime
In midst of this chaos
Be it rain or be it snow

Let go anchor
This ship is carrying dreams
Stealth-mode tanker
It’s not what it seems

Let go anchor
Let go anchor
Let go anchor
This ship is bursting at the seams
Let go anchor
