lyrics

I feel so shallow, among me are the deepest of waves that are born to swallow
Collapse upon me and wash away any success that i create
I will not turn my back on the shore that i've known to call my home
pulling me under, and the depths keep me stable.

when i lose balance i know you are there to level me out
when gravity tries to take its pull, we know belief is what held us down.
they will never know what we're capable of
if we never try to do what they'd expect from us

you are my anchor, my surface to catch a breath
you are my message, furthest from land. in need of warmth from the sand.
i face the fact that i let the abyss consume me.

i wouldnt stand a chance afloat when my inhibitions force the sink.
i just wanted to be myself isnt that how its supposed to be?
(or should i)
become someone im not and let reputation ruin whats left of me? (get over yourself)

when all was tangled, we found a way to make ourselves unbound
through the art that has our hearts, we'll stand our ground

you are my anchor, my surface to catch a breath
you are my message, furthest from land. in need of warmth from the sand.
i face the fact that i let the abyss consume me.

our dreams are sandcastles, made to be washed away
we're grateful for the wind thats caught within our sails
we're on the chase.
