[Verse 1: Anthony Green]

Who holds the silver string

Lost me to staggered motion

When you run away

Whoever changes shape

Slowing oscillation

I see you there


[Chorus: Anthony Green]

Alternate the day (And anchor)

Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)

The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)

Separate the wave (And anchor)

Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)

The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)


[Verse 2: Anthony Green]

And I'm forgetting everything you said

For you to bounce right back

Pick up right where you left off

When you run away

Whoever choose my place

Showing obsoletion

I see you there

(And how it seemed I should be reborn)


[Chorus: Anthony Green]

Alternate the day (And anchor)

Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)

The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)

Separate the wave (And anchor)

Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)

The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)


[Bridge: Anthony Green]

In the outline there's a test

Where it all gets settled in

There's no structure to my atrophy (Oh)

There's a padlock on the chest

Where it all gets hidden in

There's no pattern to my apathy (Oh)

There's impostors in my atrophy (Oh)

There's no structure to my apathy (Oh)


[Chorus: Anthony Green]

Alternate the day (And anchor)

Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)

The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)

Separate the wave (And anchor)

Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)

The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)
