[Intro] (Acoustic guitar strumming, soft ambient noise) (One, two, three...) [Verse 1] The sky is leaking and the floor is thin The walls are shaking where the ghosts get in I’m spinning circles in a heavy haze Just another casualty of "one of those days" My head’s a riot, a broken machine The loudest silence I’ve ever seen. [Pre-Chorus] But then you call, or you’re at the door And I don’t feel like I’m falling anymore. [Chorus] You’re my anchor in the rising tide When the world gets loud and there’s nowhere to hide You pull me down to the solid ground Where the air is clear and the truth is found Yeah, the storm can scream, let the lightning strike You’re the only thing that reality looks like. [Verse 2] I’m chasing shadows, I’m way off track But you’re the gravity that brings me back No sugar coating, no fake "it’s okay" Just a hand on my shoulder that makes me stay You see the mess, and you don’t run You’re the cool shade under a burning sun. [Chorus] You’re my anchor in the rising tide When the world gets loud and there’s nowhere to hide You pull me down to the solid ground Where the air is clear and the truth is found Yeah, the storm can scream, let the lightning strike You’re the only thing that reality looks like. [Bridge] (Driving drums, building intensity) Everything’s moving too fast (too fast) Nothing is built here to last (to last) Except for this weight, this heavy heart gold The only story that doesn't get old. [Guitar Solo] (Melodic, soaring but grounded) [Outro] You’re the weight that keeps me here. When the smoke begins to clear. My anchor. (Fade out with acoustic strumming) My solid ground.
