| The Anchor | - Through Rose (Official Video)

THROUGH ROSE off | The Anchor |'s New Full Length Album, BREATHE. | OUT NOW

| The Anchor | is a five-piece, female-fronted, metalcore band from Denver, Colorado. | The Anchor | and Linzey Rae have made a name for themselves since the viral explosion of their YouTube series, Metal Kitchen. | The Anchor | prides themselves on making metalcore accessible and fun for people who don’t generally listen to the genre. Ultimately, | The Anchor | creates music to help others find a voice of understanding and simply be themselves.

We write music with the objective of providing an uplifting message while promoting the value of self-worth. Knowing firsthand the refuge that music can offer away from life’s struggles, we hope to be a voice of understanding and provide a place that someone can call their home. This is so much more than a band, it is a family.

THROUGH ROSE
----------------------------------------------
You promised me the world
Filled my mind with hope and empty dreams
You promised to protect me
But I now realize..
I’m better off without you

I’m better off without you

You took advantage of my innocence and optimism.
A child looking through rose
wanting nothing more than harmony in a
broken world

I looked up to you. Your confidence hid your intents so well.
An empty reflection that gave me a false sense of comfort.

I don’t have the words to say
But I hope that one day
You will see what you did to me
And all the pain you’ve made

You fooled me into thinking I was your reason why.
I craved your presence. Hung onto every word and lie
that skipped across your lips
Your shallow decadence
Skewing the reality of my consciousness

You made me believe I couldn’t do this without you.
That you were the missing piece to my life.

You made me think you could fix all the damage done and love me all the same.
Covered my eyes from the truth to hide who was really left to blame.

I don’t have the words to say
But I hope that one day
You will see what you did to me
And the pain you made
I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you
I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away.


I see what I am to you.
A pawn in a game only you knew
Living to be the hero in the light
striving as the menace while I sleep at night
Digging your fangs deeper in my heart,
convincing me, while you play the part
You’re the remedy to wounds left by you.
Grinning at all that you’ve put me through

I’m better off without you

I don’t have the words to say
But I hope that one day
You will see what you did to me
And the pain you made
I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you
I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away.
