Silent Anchor

Drag me down slow, deeper below

Tethered tight, you won't let go

Passive torture, quiet violence

Choking slowly on your silence

You built this cage, locked the door

Threw your keys to the ocean floor

Deeper and deeper, I'm pulled below

Into depths you'll never know

I'm sinking further every day

Watching colors fade away

Held beneath your apathy

I'll keep fighting but you don't care

You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

Words like knives, you never speak

Bleeding out, too numb to scream

Promises rust, trust corrodes

Your empty eyes watch me erode

You built this cage, locked the door

Threw your keys to the ocean floor

You stood there just to watch me drown

And called this twisted wreck your crown

I'm sinking further every day

Watching colors fade away

Held beneath your apathy

I'll keep fighting but you don't care

You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

Cut the rope, let me arise

Watch me break your perfect lies

I scream, I drown, but you just look away

Your empire has become my grave

I'm sinking further every day

Watching colors fade away

Held beneath your apathy

I'll keep fighting but you don't care

You're killing me slowly by simply standing there

I'm starving

Suffocating slow

By doing nothing

You've let me go
