Anchor Down

I don't really think that I'm ready for another Chicago winter
 So you can stop making my bones feel cold
 I swear that emptiness lives inside your chest
 You're the reason you fell far away from what brought out your best
 Don't get me wrong
 I wish a lot of things were the way they used to be
 The streets that used to make me feel alive just make me feel alone
 The holes in the wall get bigger every year
 It's hard to think that some people in this world
 Look at me with the same eyes as yours
 I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
 And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
 Appreciation is something you lost
 In the dirt that's on your hands and knees
 But I'm never gonna be just a hole in the wall
 And you can anchor down your feet and say
 "Fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here"
 I'm not putting myself on a pedestal
 You need to stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be
 It's hard to think that some people in this world
 Look at me with the same eyes as yours
 I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
 And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
 Appreciation is something you lost
 In the dirt that's on your hands and knees
 Anchor down your feet and say
 "Fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here"
 Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be
 It's hard to think that some people in this world
 Look at me with the same eyes as yours
 I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
 And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
 Appreciation is something you lost
 In the dirt that's on your hands and knees
