Anchors

The disappointments we keep as souvenirs
 And the insults stuck within our ears
 And the sleepless nights filled with fear
 Oh, restless wolves eating the deer
 And the regrets at the end of every year
 And the wounds we anxiously engineer
 And the boats that never leave the pier
 And the days thrown away for a career
 But the children, the children I'd never get to know
 And my creations, they would never get to grow
 And my woman, my woman would never let it go
 But the villains, but the villains are waiting for me down below
 Before you try to save the world maybe you could
 Maybe you could try to save yourself
 Before you try to save the world maybe you could
 Maybe you could try to save yourself
 And shine your light on what you like instead of what you despise
 For a change, for a change
 And the children, the children I'd never get to know
 And my creations, they would never get to grow
 And my woman, my woman would never let it go
 But the villains, but the villains are waiting for me down below
