Joker's Republic - Anchor

You found me broken and abandoned
And built me up to be your king
I swore that I'd never let you down
But I made another promise I couldn't keep

I never said that I was perfect
Nor did I claim to be complete...ly there in terms of sanity
But I tried my best to be just that, shot for the moon and I fell flat
And now I've only got myself to blame

I've lost sight of the port of call
I can't feel my fingers at all
It's dark and it's cold and I'm scared to keep pressing on
I'm only beside myself
Disturbed and too proud to get help
Too stubborn a person to be who I need to be

We hit a rough patch... it's been two weeks ago to the day
We faced down death and disease, and I still thought we'd be okay
But the stress got to us both and though you accidentally hurt me,
My inflexibility and weak fragility 'ventually pushed you away

I've lost sight of the port of call
I can't feel my fingers at all
It's dark and it's cold and I'm scared to keep pressing on
I'm only beside myself
Disturbed and too proud to get help
Too stubborn a person to be who I need to be

I know that I should be uplifting
But when I try, well, something's missing
And I'm positively drifting out to sea
Without an anchor to keep me grounded
How can I be happy?

I've lost sight of the port of call
I can't feel my fingers at all
It's dark and it's cold and I'm scared to keep pressing on
I'm only beside myself
Disturbed and too proud to get help
Too stubborn a person to be who I need to be

I know that I should be uplifting
But when I try, well, something's missing
And I'm positively drifting out to sea
Without an anchor to keep me grounded
How can I be happy?

Without your anchor to keep me grounded
How can I be happy?
