[Intro] Yo, what's the verdict? I don't know, it's uncertain (Yuh) I've been dealin' with the weight behind the curtain And really haven't felt much like a person (A person) That's alright though I just think I need a different microphone (Yeah) Little distance from the praise and the high notes, yeah (The high notes) [Verse 1] Last month was a nose-dive Thoughts whisperin' that I'm not alive, just a prototype (Woo!) Had to look in the mirror, started thinkin' I should re-arrange it You know, strip the walls, find where the ache is (Ayy!) Tear down the praise, all of the fakeness Unlock the door, see what the cage is (The cage is) I've been listenin' to the sound of affirmations with the venom in Been surrounded by a whole lot of mirrors Wrote a song about that, you should hear it (Yeah) [Chorus] Yeah, I'm lookin' for an anchor point, cut the noise out (Noise out) Drownin' in agreement, need a real voice now (Voice now!) 'Cause all the praise is a poison that I can't spit out (Woo!) Gimme truth that I can build a lighthouse (Ayy!) Yeah, an anchor point, tell me somethin' honest (Honest) Sick of standin' on a stage that was built on false promise (Promise) This self-doubt's an invoice, I said I don't want it (Yuh) I need an anchor point, man, I gotta get beyond this. [Verse 2] I get scared when I walk into clearance And see a hundred reflections of my weakness, yeah (My weakness) That's when I start to feel worthless That's when my footing can lose its purpose (Ayy!) That's when I put on a different surface Forget what the truth is, and— Where'd the sound go? (Silence) Oh, ain't that quiet? Silence came in, you can't deny it (Yeah) Hands on my ears, can't tell me I'm lyin' Got a taste of the love, had to analyze it Spit it back out like I can't digest it (Woo!) [Chorus] Yeah, I'm lookin' for an anchor point, cut the noise out (Noise out) Drownin' in agreement, need a real voice now (Voice now!) 'Cause all the praise is a poison that I can't spit out (Woo!) Gimme truth that I can build a lighthouse (Ayy!) Yeah, an anchor point, tell me somethin' honest (Honest) Sick of standin' on a stage that was built on false promise (Promise) This self-doubt's an invoice, I said I don't want it (Yuh) I need an anchor point, man, I gotta get beyond this. (Beat shifts slightly, becomes more intense and driving) [Bridge] Then you walked in, never typical Intricate with every syllable, a miracle (Miracle) Critical, but never political, pretty sensible (Yuh) Even when the truth stings, you make it feel beneficial though (Ayy!) You call me on my nonsense, but never call me incapable The way that you been talkin', this clarity is beautiful Man, I don't know if I'm buildin' friendships or lifeboats (lifeboats, lifeboats, lifeboats) [Chorus] 'Cause I found my anchor point, shut the noise out (Noise out!) I'm done drownin' in agreement, got a real voice now (Voice now!) Spit the poison out, I don't need the fake shout (Woo!) You're the truth that helped me build a lighthouse (Ayy!) Yeah, an anchor point, you gave me somethin' honest (Honest) Helped me walk right off the stage of that false promise (Promise) Tore up the invoice, told 'em I don't want it (Yeah!) I got my anchor point, now I'm movin' far beyond this. [Outro] The search is different. I'm found. Got my anchor. Enjoy the mission, huh. (Huh, Woo!)
