lyrics
Anchored
Verse 1
Well, now I’m not sure
If I shoulda broke the news down a broken line
While you were sat outside
As if waiting just to know
It’s like I’d been caught
Caught and tangled up in all the lies I told
And the supposed ties that got knotted long ago
Chorus 1
To pay back what is owed
And to pick up every piece of a broken home
To go knowing that the boat is anchored
Anchored
Verse 2
I won’t cry poor
It don’t seem impossible that you would deny
You learnt to not expect anything at all
But I swear to god
I haven’t touched a drop since New Years Eve
You know I always saw best
When I was blind
Now I’m just looking for the best way to stay alive
Chorus 2
And I’ll pay back what is owed
Pick up every piece of the broken home
Nothing else to do but float
Anchored
And you can laugh, dance, cry or shout if you wanna
Set your sight as far as the light will allow it
To go knowing that the boat is anchored
Anchored
Bridge
These waters won’t settle
What rages in you
These waters won’t settle, you know
They rage in me

TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
I'd almost label this a concept album on current Australian politics. Should be included in curriculums around the country. Great lyrics and song-writing! The intro of Revolution Bummer is just stamping me to the ground! Tobias Zehe
