Anchors

I've found science in the existence of my words
I've been keeping secrets safe
To hide the skin that lives inside my clothes

A little less than three days
I gave myself a shot at saving grace
She didn't believe in me

Scratch that, she never believed in anything
Hold your breath as I aim and shoot for the chest
I was always one for falling in love
But I gave up on that, I started to grow up

You help me fulfill my dreams
When I need to feel high and can't fall asleep
Is this reality? Or will you take two
Relax and call me in the morning?
"You shouldn't be so cruel
What did I ever do to you?"
I wish you would stop referencing yourself

We've all got monsters too
Deep down inside. They were sent to destroy you
The secret to keeping them in
Is the imagery; familiarization in the company you keep
We've all got lovers too

Try to take mine, I fucking dare you
My secret is hidden inside me
I use manipulation to the third degree
I've bottled up un-charted maps and lands
While keeping them all in the palm of my hand

I tried to convince myself to stay
But I realized that one day
We all will wash away
