I know it’s hard to admit
That your prescription fix
Can’t help you with the way that you feel in your skin
Emotional equivalent, of a stone stauette
Shutting people out with the flip of a switch
So gather all your stones
And gather all your sticks
Extend a drunken communion, between a couple hypocrites
Your mind is too sick, but your pride can’t resist
So the first one to wins just the last one to quit
Then you say:
«Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun
No need for direction, just get me away
From everything, I’ve done
Take all the weight on my shoulders
And put it on
My saving grace
Whatever it takes, to feel light enough
To run away.»
I got used to the rescue, the hospital chair
Kinda felt like a hero, without the cape and the flair
You said:
«I think we’re all messed up, but I’m beyond repair
If I’m going to hell, will you, meet me there?»
We recycled tragedy
Got off from the pain
Made love in the psych ward
But the loneliness stayed
Now I can’t shake the nightmare
So I’m always awake
You’re off sleeping like a baby
Life’s a paid holiday
When you say:
«Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun
No need for direction, just get me away
From everything, I’ve done
Take all the weight on my shoulders
And put it on
My saving grace
Whatever it takes, to feel light enough
To run away.»
I hope you know
That I wouldn’t
Change a thing
And when you finally realize
You can’t fill a voi with sedatives
Or a double banded diamond ring
I’ll be the one who finds solace
In despair
And from the beach with the sand in my feet and the wind
In my hair
I’ll say
I’ll say:
«Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun
No need for direction, just get me away
From everything, I’ve done
Take all the weight on my shoulders
And put it on
My saving grace
Whatever it takes, to feel light enough
To run away.»
