This Anchor

I watch my world burn in front of my own eyes
And crumble to pieces, the ashes that blow by
Are a shadow of the Rabbit that now ghosts by
A faint whisper from the past, so quiet
Flickering flames like a portal in time
Are a vivid depiction of how my morals declined
A reminder that the guilt right at the core of my mind
Is a permanent tenant, part of my normal-ish life
I'm always down because I'm always falling short
Crawling out of bed is like a crawl to war
Where I get beat up and pummeled again
None of my friends understand that this younger man's life's just stalling more
This anchor is nothing I can haul at all
Everyday's like tryna fit into a smaller door
If failure had a trophy, I'd probably win a Ballon d'Or
And u wonder what on earth I'm melancholy for

I ain't got a list of highs and lows, just lows and lowers
Broken shoulders from rollercoasters
The search for a loved one drove me colder
Reheated, repeated, refreeze it til it's frozen over
I've been both the heartbroken and the heartbreaker
Yeah I know what it's like to be the sharp razor
I've been the skin too, slit through like soft paper
Burned and been burned, then dispersed like hot vapour
You'd probably think that my fam are my best friends
But the silence is probably something you would question
The ones I do call my friends, have I kept them?
I'm not the best of friends, that secret ain't best kept
I haven't even talked about my everyday struggle and my addiction
I'm weighed down like gravity's victim
Why am I like this? Why is this the lot I was given?
It's got me feeling like I'm living in a prison
