The End Of An Anchor Lyrics

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
