The Calm Before Lyrics by The Anchor

Breathe

2020

I stand here alone, surrounded by the dark
Feeling the chill of the water
The world around me is so still
Somewhere in this storm, I’ve lost my will
I'm caught in the tide searching for my mind
Trying to see the pieces left behind
My knuckles turning white. Hanging on for fucking dear life
This candle gives me light, all I want to do is let go
The silence brings peace and the shadows give protection
I want to give this flame to the current and be devoured by the night
The world around me is so still
Somewhere in this storm, I’ve lost my will
I'm caught in the tide searching for my mind
Trying to see the pieces left behind
My knuckles turning white. Hanging on for fucking dear life
This candle gives me light, all I want to do is let go
I need to let go of it. No, I can’t let go of it
Oh god, please something take it away
So I can finally go to sleep
Please take it away so I can go to sleep
I have nothing left to give
Please let me go to sleep
