I slipped my moorings today

Just like that

All this time they were mine to release

I thought the knots were untieable

I thought only he knew Marlinspike ways

These straining years

This drydock life

Now left behind on the shores of past pain

I have my own anchor now

I’ll set it down where I please

I slipped my moorings today

Just like that
