Throw Me an Anchor - Baroness

The stars that shone between us

Were bluish-green and golden-like

Beware the hand that feeds us

Where the birds of prey

Hold onto the stolen light

Throw me an anchor

I hope you learned

When you gave me fire

I made it burn

The stars that shone between us

Were bluish-black and gold

The colours spreading everywhere

Begin to fade

Like bleach on poison-ivy skin

This is an emergency

This is an emergency

The stars that shone between us

Were all in monochrome

This is an emergency

The last one out will pay

This is an emergency

This is an…

Emergency

You’d throw me an anchor

And hope I’d learn

When you hold me to fire

You’d think I’d burn

When you bathe in fire

I’d throw you an anchor

I know you learned

When you hand me a lighter

I will make it burn
