[Verse 1]
An anchored heart used to feel so safe 
Used to keep you from floating away like a feather untethered 
Secret fears that you had came true, made you 
Wonder what you were anchored to 
Oh the playbill was so different 

[Pre-Chorus]
Chains feel like love by another name 
And you’ve been looking for a brand new way to make the same mistake 

[Chorus]
It’s slurry words begging you to stay 
Restless soul saying walk away 
How did you end up here anyway? 
The house on a rock can still be set aflame 
One taste of another tree 
Up and broke all the gravity 
Shackle-born forever we 
Are all held down by the weight of love 

[Verse 2]
The heart beats blood and love so deep 
Into wild veins that forever plead 
To be filled with trust or unholy lust 
A worn-out oath on an unworn tongue 
Now a wildfire that you can’t outrun 
Were you fools in love? 
Was that what is was? 

[Pre-Chorus]
You were on your knees begging for escape 
Now you’re praying for just one more day to make the same mistakes 

[Chorus]
It’s slurry words begging you to stay 
Restless soul saying walk away 
How did you end up here anyway? 
The house on a rock can still be set aflame 
One taste of another tree 
Up and broke all the gravity 
Shackle-born forever we 
Are all held down by the weight of love 

[Bridge]
Are we better off 
Making all the wrong choices
Hearing all the wrong voices
Drinking all the wrong poisons? 
Are we better off than not 
Making all the wrong choices
Hearing all the wrong voices
Making all the wrong noises?

[Chorus]
Slurry words begging you to stay 
Restless soul saying walk away 
How did you end up here anyway? 
The house on a rock can still be set aflame 
One taste of another tree 
Up and broke all the gravity 
Shackle-born forever we 
Are all held down by the weight of love
