[Verse 1] I woke to the mirror Already wearing my name A silver horse in the hallway Knew me by my shame The kettle screamed like thunder The clock had split in two I traced the crack in the plaster Like a map back to you [Pre-Chorus] And the hallway bends Like a question I can’t keep The floorboards count my secrets One by one beneath my feet [Chorus] Carry me, carry me home Through the storm and the stone Carry me, carry me home I was never alone (never alone) [Verse 2] On the hill by the railway I buried a borrowed crown The crows wore all my answers And the river wore them down My father in the window My mother in the rain Their voices in the wallpaper Calling me by a different name [Pre-Chorus] And the compass shakes In my shaking hands tonight I am half a verdict And half a blade of light [Chorus] Carry me, carry me home Through the storm and the stone Carry me, carry me home I was never alone (never alone) [Bridge] If I fall into the atlas Let the pages burn like gold If I become a pillar Let my cracking heart be bold I have kissed the cold horizon I have bowed to every gate I have worn my grief like armor I have loved my own delay [Final Chorus] Carry me, carry me home Through the storm and the stone Carry me, carry me home I was never alone (never alone) Carry me, carry me home Let the whole world hear me moan Carry me, carry me home I was never alone (never alone)
