I am the anchor
That tethers her to the bottomless depth
And she's holding her breath
But she has not dove yet
And it's nearly up to her neck
When we're together I know it's because
I'm dumb enough to think she loves me
She's sweet enough to say she does
Many songs I've written
Tell of a love that slowly fades
For her it never came
But if it's all the same
I'll keep her company while she waits
So save the date
When we're together I know it's because
I'm dumb enough to think she loves me
She's sweet enough to say she does
And she is an angel if ever there was
But I'm dumb enough to think she loves me
She's sweet enough to say she does

I never understood the way
My parents used to lie and say
The Lord works in mysterious ways
But who the hell am I
To call it all a lie
When I know that they were only quoting
What they honestly believed
The faithful blame all that they deem
A miracle or catastrophe
Upon the plan our saviour set aside
But I can't believe a diety
Could make a plan so ill-conceived
That kids can die why evil people thrive
We watched a cartoon in her hospital room
And it's what I've chosen
To remember instead of her
Frail, yellow and pale body
That was given an expiration date
Nothing like the death of a young one
To rattle your blind Faith
Some day something or someone
Will rattle your blind Faith

I was just a kid
When I first flipped my lid
Because all the books were taken
Off my shelf
And there I lay motionless
Trying my best to breathe
Because breathing ain't so easy
When you want so bad to leave
Wouldn't you know it?
I was just nineteen
When my head swallowed me
She assured that heathen of her love
And there I lay in her bed
The one we used to share
And Lord knows I'd be furious
If I wasn't so damn scared
Of all the places my brain goes
When it thinks that I'm not there
You're the only thing that's keeping me alive
Hold my head under water
Let the sound of drowning make me sane
There's no use, why bother?
You know the drill
It's how I will remain
You're the only thing that's keeping me alive
