The Water Vs. The Anchor (recorded esp for this comp)

I wish that I could take back every drunken night
So selfishly keeping myself
Distant and doubtful and basically an asshole
And I tried to stay young and in the womb of a bottle
But I just keep on getting older and the bottles keep piling up
It’s such a foolish attempt
It’s such a foolish attempt
It’s such a foolish attempt
To hold on to a time
When idiocy had no consequence
To hold on to a time
When idiocy had no consequence
To hold on to a time
When idiocy had no consequence
To hold on to a time
When idiocy had no consequence
And I’ll try to keep singing
Over the telephone ringing
And I’ll try to keep singing
Over the telephone ringing
And I’ll try to keep singing
Over the telephone ringing
And I’ll try to keep singing
Over the telephone ringing
Running from the age I should be embracing
Running from the age I should be embracing
We’re all so satisfied
To be just barely alive
For lack of anything better to do
For all the shit I have to swallow
The water versus the anchor
The water versus the anchor
The water versus the anchor
The water versus the anchor
