How Long

Throw down the anchor
Waters only getting deeper
You swallow the anger
Pride is strong but your body’s getting weaker

At night you pray, you always say
You think the day will come
Then morning breaks, you’re still afraid
To do what must be done

How long?
How far? How bad does it have to get?
How long?
How come you ain’t ready to go there yet
As much as I love you and I wanna help
Theres some things you gotta do for yourself
How long? is too late
Is too gone? how long?

Can you see the lighthouse
Shining on you right now
Hold your breath and jump out
Don’t look back, don’t ask how

You pray tonight to see a sign
Up in the stars above
But now it’s time, they’re all aligned
Don’t pass the moment up

How long?
How far? How bad does it have to get?
How long?
How come you ain’t ready to go there yet
As much as I love you and I wanna help
There’s some things you gotta do for yourself
How long? is too late
Is too gone? how long?

The flame has flickered long enough
Black smoke filling up your lungs
If your gonna do it
Do it now
Cause the ship is going down, down down

The flame has flickered long enough
Black smoke filling up your lungs
If your gonna do it
Do it now
Cause the ship is going down, down down

How long?
How far? How bad does it have to get?
How long?
How come you ain’t ready to go there yet
As much as I love you and I wanna help
There’s some things you gotta do for yourself
How long? is too late
Is too gone? how long?
