Damaged 04:21
Nothing matters when you’re damaged, more than feeling those Pieces that were scattered somehow fit back together No one understands, no one could possibly understand The fire that burns inside turning you to ash It’s just you facing the shadows It’s just you Nothing matters when you’re damaged You do the best that you can to keep it locked in confidence Keep it from spilling out But some days your footsteps don’t match the way you carry yourself No one could gauge the weight or strength that it takes When it’s just you remembering to breathe It’s just you Nothing matters when you’re damaged but here you stand Alive, against all the odds that said you’d never make it out From under that tight grasp that held you to silence Though you were dying for someone to listen to your eyes It’s just you fighting to survive It’s just you Nothing matters when you’re damaged, at least that’s what you tell yourself Every morning with the sunrise, hoping it sinks in this time When against your will you relive the moments that held you captive for so long Leaving you damaged But it’s just you who thinks you are alone It’s just you who blames you for what was done It’s just you, it’s just you

Bitterness 05:08
This is where it ends now, I can't keep control or hold myself Back against this bitterness making me a prison of my own past Silly me oh why did I leave Home alone looking to become someone Else than who I am inside I stumbled upon tricks and lies My secrets are inside, my secrets run and hide I feel bitterness is creeping in, taking over my soul I feel bitterness is caving in, making my heart it's home Down the streets I aimlessly walk Put distance between that life and me But somehow the pain remains Now I fear I'm ruined to love again My secrets are inside, my secrets come to life Watch it all come crashing down Take your stand or take a bow Cracks of light are reaching far Farther down to test your scars Trade your hope and you'll be numb Chasing love and carnivals Darker days are drawing near Closer here to wake your fears

Lonely 04:37
Standing on the edge of tomorrow Standing so still I think I'll turn to stone It's just so crazy some days how much we don't know Words can say so much and still not enough Tricky little riddles twisting up your heart It's just so crazy some days how differently we spell love You're waiting for me To come back around Patiently, you draw me into your arms And I don’t know why I ever thought I wouldn’t be Lonely Drifting in and out of this daydream Drifting in deeper to find that place so sweet It's just beyond my wildest dreams how you ended up with me At the end of the day you know I'm yours to hold At the end of the show you won't be going home alone And in between the scenes of this daydream Remember you and me at the start when you won my heart

1. I take my sweet time when I feel like 2. I will be waiting outside until I know you're alright 3. All I need is your smile and your eyes and your laugh and your love, mmm, hold me tight 4. There's only one way to win me You better figure it out Oh these things you should know if you're gonna love me I need you to need me desperately If you're gonna hold me Babe, it better damn be real every time If you're gonna take my heart and tie it to yourself I need your love to break through every wall I have and prove it to me Hey, please say those sweet word in a whisper in my ear Don’t go walking away and leave me here behind Truth, all I know is that I’ll never lie, never leave, never find another love like you Oh you won me sweet and slow, I’ll never let you go Will you love me for whatever I am every day? What now? I'm beautiful? Ha, how do you know that? Will you let me be a mess and think the worst of myself over and over again? Hey, you better not let me stay there too long

Oh Honey 04:05
You make my heart melt and it beats out of my chest Butterflies when you smile at me with your eyes You see right through and you know me too I can’t hide from you Oh honey, it’s what you do Oh honey, it’s what you do to me Hey baby, I think you’re crazy for loving me Oh honey You know my secrets, promise you’ll keep them Skeletons that make a home in my head You’ll never leave and you make me sing Sweeter than ever and I’ll love you forever No one is sweeter and no one is deeper No one loves me like you do
6.
So 04:49
I’m sorry for the words that I didn’t say Before you walked out the door Now you’re gone away I kept them to myself I didn’t want you thinking I was foolish But oh they are sweet, like honey They’d make you feel like a queen I’m so sorry But will you listen to them now I think I’ve got them down I love you so I need you so don’t stay away too long I’ve gone for days all alone before but I I miss you so Can you feel the string pull from my heart Like a tightrope to yours when we’re apart I whisper to myself “just another day left” The sun will rise a few more times and you’ll be back Did you know how long this love would last? Did you know how far this love would stretch? Halfway across the world and back

Unsteady 04:33
Here comes the flood again Rushing in, crashing down, tidal waves knocking me over It lets cold inside my soul Somehow it thinks my heart is home I'm not ok Oh, don't let go Oh, don't let go of me Oh, don't let go Oh, don't let go of me I'm so unsteady Don't let me slip away Take my hand, grip it white, talk to me so I believe everything’s alright Cuz it stays awake while I dream This heartache eats away at me Hold me now, maybe just hold me down I need you to hold me tight, so tight I can breathe Hold me now, I need you to hold your ground Hold me please, just hold me, hold me

Anchored 04:32
We have this hope as an anchor We have this hope secure In the middle of the ocean When the darkness closes in Our hope is sure He is the same today, tomorrow and forever He is the love that holds our broken hearts together He is for us, he is enough He is the hope that comes to anchor down our souls He will never leave, he will never leave us He will never sleep, he is faithful to us

about

Anchored is a record about hope. Life comes at us in waves and surges, tossing us around. We can feel lost and broken. But this is also the beauty of life and love. The beauty is in where we've been, how we kept moving and what kept us going.
