Conspectus - Anchors Lyrics

Take these anchors out of me
I can't hide them here anymore

You see what you want to see
Forcing yourself to believe
You hear what you want to hear
What do you think you'll achieve?

Your conclusions are all bitter lies
Lies that rust and dethrone
Frail attempts at defending yourself
Only weaken the soul within

Take these anchors out of me
I can't hide them here anymore

I look at a ruin
A reminder of the past
Let go, fall into the arms
The arms that will kill you

Your conclusions are all bitter lies
Lies that rust and dethrone
Frail attempts at defending yourself
Only weaken the soul within

Take these anchors out of me
I can't hide them here anymore

Take these anchors out of me
I can't hide them here anymore

I can't hide them here anymore

Anchors will build my tomb
Cut the ropes, let them perish
Let them descend

I look down on you
(I look down on a ruin)
Frail attempts will rust
(They will rust and dethrone)

You are a ruin
Your time is over
Let go, fall into the arms
Let them kill you
Kill you
Cut off the ropes
Sink the anchors
Let them perish
Bury the burden
Let them descend
