End of an anchor


I was away for a while
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
Though I don't deserve itI'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts
Just one more last chance
I swear that I'll earn it
If you front me for nowI'm good for it I swearI'm better now I swear
In earlier days, they'd persecute peopleThey'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself
I will never settle
The debts I've incured for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
And though I once mocked youI'm dying to pay for it nowI'm dying to pay for it now
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
I wasn't well for a while
I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me
And that seemed to hold me
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
On the strength of my own
Well, I should've known
That gets me nowhereI've learned that now I swear
In earlier days, they'd persecute peopleThey'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself
I will never settle
The debts I've incured for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
And though I once mocked youI'm dying to pay for it nowI'm dying to pay for it now, now, now
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
But, I can

Biografia

Dashboard Confessional is an American musical group formed in 1998 in Gainesville, Florida. The project originated as a side project by Chris Carrabba, who was already the frontman of the band Further Seems Forever. The first album, *Swiss Army Romance* (2000), was primarily a solo effort, but with the success of the record, Carrabba formed a full band for the following album, *The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most* (2001). The group achieved international recognition with the 2002 MTV Unplugged album, which was certified platinum. Subsequently, Dashboard Confessional released other successful albums such as *A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar* (2003) and *Dusk and Summer* (2006), both reaching number two on the US Billboard charts. In 2007, the group returned to acoustic sounds with the album *The Shade of Poison Trees*. Some of Dashboard Confessional's most representative songs include: "Hands Down", "Screaming Infidelities", "The Sharp Hint of New Tears", "Don't Wait" and "Stolen".
