[Intro • Low Rumble • Metallic Tide] There’s a pull beneath the waves— a weight the water never asked for. [Verse 1 • Spoken Drift • Industrial Undertow] You look steady from the surface, cold iron against the storm, but I know the truth of metal— you hold because you can’t move, not because you care where the ship goes. Every time I rise, you tighten the chain, reminding me of the depth you’ve made your home. [Pre-Chorus • Pressure Build] I’ve mistaken gravity for loyalty, mistaken heaviness for care, mistaken the drag for direction. [Chorus • Heavy Drop • Main Signal] You’re the anchor below— rusted deep, pretending you’re the reason I float. But the deeper I sink to keep you steady, the more I forget how to breathe. You’re the anchor below— holding tight while calling it love. But anchors never follow ships… they only drown the ones that trust them. [Verse 2 • Grit Flow • Mechanical Current] You never asked to move, and I never asked to stay— funny how we both learned to pretend that this is balance. You say the tide is dangerous, but you only fear the sky. You call my voice a storm, but you never hear the weather inside yourself. [Breakdown • Submerged Glitch] c-c-current rising— chains humming— depth pressure shaking loose. A ship isn’t meant to worship the bottom. [Bridge • Melodic Undertow] I tried to lift you— thought I could fix the rust, thought the ocean could heal what time refused to touch. But you don’t want to rise. You want me to kneel. [Final Chorus • Full Collapse] You’re the anchor below— the weight that calls itself “home.” But I’m done sinking to keep you calm. Done drowning to keep you close. If I cut the chain, I don’t lose you— I reclaim the surface. [Outro • Waterline Static] s-s-surface breach… signal rising… anchor fading in the deep.
