Cut Anchor - Abney Park

Either you’re an anchor, or you’re a sail

I’ve got places to go, and you leave me too frail

Can’t keep my head above water, you’re pulling me down

I can’t keep my mood where I wanna, when you’re wearing that frown

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

You tell me that you’re lonely, and I say come aboard

I say «Hey take my hand,» but you hand me your sword

I can tell that you’re hurting, I wish I could help you some way

But each time I reach out, you push all my friendship away

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I can’t be held responsible if you won’t let me in

I can’t tell you what’s wrong when you wear such thin skin

I don’t know what will happen if we keep going this way

I don’t know what will be left at the end of the day

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

Do I owe you a warning when I feel you lash out?

I must protect my own, I don’t wanna hear you shout

I fear I’ll destroy you if I play you this tune

I know you’ll destroy me if I don’t free myself soon

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!

I want to sail!
