The Anchor (Ft. Glass Foxes Playing Verano Porteño)

[Intro] Based on an upload of me playing Verano Porteño on my acoustic guitar [Verse 1] I was here, but I couldn't take it any longer Now I'm nowhere, telling you I'm a goner You promised you'd save me, come hell or high water But you just stood there and watched me go under. [Pre-Chorus] Now you've got me drowning, tied to an anchor Yeah, you drag me down And I'm constantly feeling Like I'm dancing between happiness and screaming. [Chorus] You say seal my lips and deal with this Just close my eyes and coexist But I'm running out of breath And you're the weight on my chest You're not the savior, you're the anchor. [Post-Chorus] (Down, down, down...) Yeah, I'm DROWNiiiiing (Down, down, down...) Whoa oh, I'm drown ing... [Verse 2] The surface is looking so far away It's getting darker with every word you say. You're floating up there in the light and air Acting like you don't even know I'm here. I reach out a hand, but you push it aside I guess sink or swim was just another lie. [Chorus] You say seal my lips and deal with this Just close my eyes and coexist But I'm running out of breath And you're the weight on my chest You're not the savior, you're the anchor. [Post-Chorus] (Down, down, down...) Yeah, I'm DROWNiiiiing (Down, down, down...) Whoa oh, I'm drown ing... [Bridge] My pain tolerance is limited Yeah, think I'm finally finished. It's quiet at the bottom... Time to join you down here, Mama. And Papa never taught us how to swim I guess I learned to sink from him. Now I'm handing down the weight And sealing my daughter's fate. Yeah, the cycle never ends... NO, IT NEVER ENDS! [Guitar Solo] [Post-Solo] (Down, down, down...) (Down, down, down...) DROWNNNNNNNNNNNN! [Final Chorus] YOU SAY SEAL MY LIPS AND DEAL WITH THIS! JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND COEXIST! But I'm running out of breath! And you're the weight on my chest! You're not the savior!.... NO! You're not the savior.... [Outro] You're the anchor.... Come hell or high water... Now I'm the anchor....
