[Intro]
Where am I?
Someone please turn on the light
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
How can I find my way from this little cellar they call life

[Interlude]
Down here I tear out my veins and tie them to the chair
This goes on and on and on
Unraveled in contortions, I run for the door
This goes on and on and on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to my own destruction

[Verse]
I fall face first, I fall face first
Watch me descend, I'm on display
This cycle of human decay

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it lurking in the corners
I watch it tracking up my arm

[Chorus]
I am the anchor, I am the anchor
I am the anchor, I am the anchor
Bound to my existence, bound to my existence
[Post-Chorus]
I make peace with the parasites I live among
Paralyzed, I watch them colonize as I sit here and just fall apart

[Hook]
The beggars and choosers are all the same
The default reaction will never change
So I catch a glimpse of my own reflection
From a shard of glass left on the floor
The beggars and choosers are all the same
The default reaction will never change

[Bridge]
It's time to restart
Reassemble what's left of my body
It's time to restart
Pick me up and walk away

[Chorus]
Uproot the anchor, uproot the anchor
Uproot the anchor, uproot the anchor
Walk right out the door, walk right out the door

[Outro]
I'll change for the better, it can't get much worse
I'll swallow my own pride and then accept defeat
Accept defeat, accept defeat
