The End of an Anchor - Dashboard Confessional I was away for a while But Im hoping someday youll forgive me Though I dont deserve it Ill cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts Just one more last chance I swear that Ill earn it If you front me for now Im good for it I swear Im better now I swear In earlier days, theyd persecute people Theyd carry them off, and hobble their legs For lesser offenses, than 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 Ive incured for scorning the face Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace And though I once mocked you Im dying to pay for it now Im 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 wasnt 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 couldnt go On the strength of my own Well, I shouldve known That gets me nowhere Ive learned that now I swear In earlier days, theyd persecute people Theyd carry them off, and hobble their legs For lesser offenses, than 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 Ive incured for scorning the face Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace And though I once mocked you Im dying to pay for it now Im 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 wasnt sure that I could Well, I wasnt sure that I could Well, I wasnt sure that I could But, I can
