Anchors Up

(Back on my feet)
When everything falls down and around
I'll be the fucked up kid trying to stay afloat in this town
But my ship has it's holes and everybody knows
I'm sinking down (Oh)
To the bottom of the sea (Oh)
Tell myself that this was meant to be
Anchors up
Anchors up
Let's get out of this place
Set sail for anywhere but here
Anchors up
Anchors up and away
I've been tied down for too long
Everyday I was drowning in doubt
Such a sinking feeling I'd never get out
And it cuts so deep
Through bone and grief
It feels so good to be back on my feet
Well maybe it's just a run of bad luck
Telling myself that I deserve too much
But my daggers are sharp
And all my friends keep singing
I know that everything happens for a reason
But your life seems to have no meaning
You're getting older and I'll always be young
After a long year
This is the closet I've been
To just fitting in
Don't swing misguided fists my way
Don't tell us how you feel
And If you're gonna talk be real
Bearing a clumsy grip
Will surely sink this ship
And if it goes down
We go down with it (We won't go down)

Tonight's the night
Listen to every word you say and I'll take it to heart
Be careful not to fall apart
Your words are worthless if they fall straight to the floor
You're always creeping in up my spine
Trying to change my mind
But i don't care what you say
Or where your mouth runs
I make my own fate and that will never change
Mom and dad I'm sorry I have to go
Can't you see that I'm better off on my own
19 years and we have nothing
Nothing that burns inside on lonely nights
A home away from home
I promise letters from the road
I'll be back when I have grown
So stumble through
Your words it's the only thing you ever did well
I hope you're trying hard not to dwell
On contradictions that destroy you
And your games
You'll never know how it feels to bleed inside
Bearing your heart out for the world just to stay alive
I make my own fate and that will never change
On and on these nights go on and on
No one to call
When you fall through the cracks
So watch me take
The path less traveled
While you stay
On the road that comes
So easily to everyone that's
In too deep

Heavy Hearted- Miles away
Album: When You Were Home
facebook.com/heavyheartedca
I'm always singing the songs that make me
Feel like I'm not just wasting my time
Tonight I'll bury myself in my room
And stay miles away
From the bonds you've broken
And torn down
Can I hold on to anyone that knows how I feel
Am I the only one that still stands for something
Stands for something real
These are the best days of our lives
Don't let me get inside my head
Please won't you save me
I'm still hanging on to every word you said
No mistakes
No regrets
No one doubts
Or forgets
No more losing ourselves to somebody else
This distance is killing me
Growing up is so much harder
Without you and all the songs are always sad
Another day I can lose to myself
While your miles away from the
Time I'm wasting in this town
Where nothing is fine
Does anyone know how I feel
I'm falling apart and giving into something
Into something real
I'll ride this out until the end
Before everything you're my best friend
What will make you cave in
And come back to where it all began

Sit tight and listen to my heavy words
Let them carry you along when your feelings are the worst
Its times like these that make you easy to resist
Say what you want about me
But this is where I've always been
Right here with my heart on my sleeve
Breathe deeply and I will get through this
Travel blind into the great unknown
I'm on my own
Don't get me wrong
But It's been so long since I've seen you smile
I know I'm not the best
But I'm close to it
Did I read you wrong
I'll just keep writing songs
And hanging my head
So low where you cant reach me anymore
This time I'm facing all my fears
When you feel your heart shattering
Just know that it's too solid to be broken
So many words will be unspoken
If you follow me into the great unknown (Known)
I'm on my own
Anchors up
It's time to sail away
You're busy drowning in the San Francisco Bay
The undertow pulling you down fast
But My heavy heart was built to last
And I'm coming out swinging
You can say what you want about me
But you'll never know the life that I lead
I'll just keep writing songs
And I'll just keep hanging my head

(Everyone) keeps telling me
I won't just settle down and fade away
But I've never burned this bright
How can I live if I'm dying inside
You said you always said life's like the movies
Where a solid heart of gold
Can keep me from my own disaster
I always keep my head up in the clouds
The view is always better from the top
It's like every word I say
Makes you want to replay
All of the perfect dreams you've had
We're not here to let our walls fall down
I'm doing my best someday I'll run this town
(What have they done) to me
It's like everyone surrounding me is taking over
Nothing can bring us down
No one will stop us
You think how can you think our days are numbered
Your head is drowning in those lies
Listen to yourself don't fall into line
I always keep my eyes focused on you
I know I'll never forget these days
I've had so much doubt that's tried to keep me tied down
I've had so much doubt but it won't keep me tied down
I wrote this song for all my friends
That let me down once again
Where were you when I needed so much
I hope this means something to you
These songs mean everything to me

Oh
You thought I'd never see the face
That lies behind your mask
But you can't hide from yourself
One last request before you
Burn down my best intentions
Drown in your grief (Drown in your grief)
Your life is a mess of broken truths
Feel my chest explode in two
As you lie through your teeth (Lie through your teeth)
Now you sink so deep in your self loathing
Won't you come up for some air
It's time
It's time that you fall
It's time you hit the ground
You never gave a fuck
Stay away
My dear
I write so many songs
But this one is for you
And not because I care
All because I still hate to
See your face and
You're calling me out
Leaving the worst taste in my mouth
Behind your back
I swear I'll burn your house
To the ground
If it gets to you
Such a mess
Such a waste of energy
I'd take it all back if i could
Don't care how you feel
Don't care what you say
I never needed you anyway

Sleeptalkers

I've risen from the depths of my bed
It's so hard to sleep nights alone
While keeping you out of my head
Please let me know
That you won't let me go
Admit to yourself
That you are a threat to our health
I'm trying my best to hide what's inside
But that look in your eyes
I am your best friend
Or all that is left of them
I'll carry you all the way home
If you promise to stay for a while
And keep me so close to that smile
I promise I will
Call you now and then
If you will kill what's left inside
The pain will quickly subside
You told me you loved me
Were you just sleeptalking
You're burning down a beautiful thing
cross my fingers
I'm telling you lies
Won't stay here to drown in your eyes
Please go easy on me
I'm falling in and out of sleep
Please go easy on me
I was just sleeptalking again

I'm one step away from the past
And it's making it so hard to sleep days away
And I know they say
That some things won't change
But the weight of the world is almost too much to take
(Why is it so hard)
to move on
(I wish I could see you)
But you're still gone
I'm not like you guys
I can't just dry my eyes
It's been weighing on my conscience for some time
These thoughts of you
I just can't keep out of my mind
It's time to cut my losses
Abandon the process
Of pulling daggers out of my heart
And this was always my safe place to run and hide
When days got to dark to bear
Now I'm so far from home
And the clock seems to own
Our final minutes together
Most days I walk with a heavy head
And try keep my eyes on the road ahead
Buried so deep
Feeling my heart sink
I hope I make it
Hope I make it out alive
I'll salvage what's left of me
I'll try to find myself deep inside our memories
And lie there waiting for you to come home
And lay my head to rest
I'll salvage what's left of me
If you can help me find the person I was always meant to be
I just want you to come home
I miss reading you my poems
And singing you to sleep
When I open my eyes
I wish for longer nights and clear skies
All of my friends and the summer skyline
Let's wait up with the sunrise
Stay here with me
