Anchor

It's the last day of the year
would anyone mind it if I just disappear?
'cause in these grey days
that hold hidden sunrays
X marks the spot where I'm bound to find
beautiful her
double X marks the code that I must break
a chromosone cure
to my sleepless life-in-the-making
the making of a life
the breaking of a lie

About my imagination
it's either drop anchor
or run this ship aground
I won't make a sound
as my dreams break the dam
you have constructed around me
hold on to your precious,
I'm sailing right on through

It's the first day of fear
the first day of school, fear reappears
and tells me to hold tight
against the wind to fight
the bigger, the bad football boys
treating thier girlfriends like toys
my mind screams, pound the flesh
my heart jumps, leave the rest
far behind
it's almost recess time

About my sensations
it's either drop anchor
or run this ship aground
it's all happening right now
and real to my fantasy mind
and this figment of a life
I have constructed around me
hold on, dear self,
to come sailing right on through

Drop anchor
or sail away
and leave this world behind
leave the girls who don't see you behind
leave the high school band, the defective parents behind
leave this life of lying to yourself and writing bad poetry behind
and sail right on through
and sail right on through
and sail right on through this pain
I'm sailing right on through
