Before the Streetlights - Anchored and Torn.

My heart is made of gold and
It's turning my skin green
I dream of heading west but it still escapes me
If you're dreaming up a postcard
Put me on a beach somewhere out there
His heart is made of ice
Watch it melt in my hand
They say he’s paid his price but I don't believe them
Your bottle’s getting empty time for you to head east
Stay out there
I'm anchored and torn
I'm out on my own
No sense of direction and nowhere to go
One day I will leave
And no one will know
Just on my own finding what this is for
I'm anchored and torn
His tongue was like I knife
I could hear them speaking
Cutting through the air about the life we envy
With a book in his hand he said
Boy you can find your answers in here
Her heart was made of stone
But it broke in my hand
I tried to give her hope but she wanted nothing
You've helped me just as much as
The building with the cross
Please stay out there
I'm anchored and torn
I'm out on my own
No sense of direction and no where to go
One day I will leave
And no one will know
Just on my own finding what this is for
I’m anchored and torn
I’m anchored and torn
I'm anchored and torn
I'm out on my own
No sense of direction and no where to go
One day I will leave
And no one will know
Just on my own finding what this is for
I’m anchored and torn
I'm sick and I'm tried
I'm Caught in the shallows
But further from shore than ever before
If I get pulled under
My wounds would you suture
And swim me to shore
To hold me once more
