Lyrics Night Anchor - Sea in the Sky

Night Anchor

Lie awake and wonder why
I’m not afraid to say i’m terrified
Of when the lights should go out
And they’re flickering, flickering
Stagger forward, stumble blind
Do they see at all in the same hues we do?
What lies in the corners of
The back of our skulls, we’re
Imagining the worst
And why leave the mattress when
When under the covers we’re safe
From every silhouette we see
Spinning the reel, fallin' apart
Play it all back, back again
If you believe, I believe, too
Infinite expanding dark
Feel the ground right where we stand
If you believe, I believe, too
Lie awake and wonder why
I’m not afraid to say i’m terrified
Of when the lights should go out
And they’re flickering, flickering
Stagger forward, stumble blind
Do they see at all in the same hues we do?
You’re forcing your eyes closed shut
Pray to the flashlight for a means to an end
Creep through the hallway floor
Press your hands to the wall to find
A switch to cure the blind anxiety
Anchored to your bed
They hold you down, you’re screaming out, but
You’ll be fine
Pressure on your chest
They’re holding you down, you’re screaming out, but
You’ll be fine
Lie to yourself, say you’ve done this before and
Take up the courage you’ve kept in the floorboards
