The End Of An Anchor Lyrics

I was away for a while 



But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me 



Though I don't deserve it 



I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts







Just one more last chance 



I swear that I'll earn it 



If you front me for now 



I'm good for it I swear 



I'm better now I swear 







In earlier days, they'd persecute people 



They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs 



For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you 



And still you allow me to walk free of pain 







Though I punish myself 



I will never settle 



The debts I've incured for scorning the face 



Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace 



And though I once mocked you 



I'm dying to pay for it now 



I'm dying to pay for it now 







So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down 



And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound 



To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound 



And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get 







I wasn't well for a while 



I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me 



And that seemed to hold me 



That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go



On the strength of my own 



Well, I should've known



That gets me nowhere 



I've learned that now I swear 







In earlier days, they'd persecute people 



They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs 



For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you 



And still you allow me to walk free of pain 







Though I punish myself 



I will never settle 



The debts I've incured for scorning the face 



Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace 



And though I once mocked you 



I'm dying to pay for it now 



I'm dying to pay for it now, now, now 







So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down 



And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound 



To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound 



And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get 







Well, I wasn't sure that I could 



Well, I wasn't sure that I could 



Well, I wasn't sure that I could



But, I can
