lyrics

All of a sudden the anchor is gone
I never asked for directions I kept on drifting on
One less haven to hide in
Bells don't ring when you sing anymore little siren
I'm smashed on the rocks of Long Island inviting Poseidon

Quick as a flash from the lights of the nine
All of my colors inverted; my soft curves turning to cold lines
Stuck on my block, stuck on my sphere
I don't care what I wear anymore in transparency
Infrared, ultraviolet, I've been faded for years

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANCHOR IS GONE
TROPHIES ARE PERFECT FOR SCRAPPING
DIAMONDS ARE MADE TO BE PAWNED
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANCHOR IS GONE
NONE OF US KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANCHOR IS GONE

Turn off my telephone out of respect
Feels like I'm wearing the anchor
The chain bites at my neck
One more mem'ry to draw on
So I toast to the ghost of our youth where I lost you I'm off to Atlantis again little albatross pet
