Verse 1 Maintain your cold posture, conceal your disdain, You wield every frost while I carry the strain. Plot out your currents and drift to the deep, Just leave me the charts so the silence can keep. Turn your cold shoulder, strike out every plea— It was never the darkness that blinded me. It was watching a beacon whose flickering flame Exposed how you drifted and disguised every aim. Chorus I took the night shift, I guarded the coast, And anchored a dream that became a ghost. You claimed the safe harbor and conquered the shore, Then barred out the hands that had built up the door. Verse 2 Pursue your horizons and run with the tide, Leave only bare coordinates where you reside. Sever the tether and cast off the chain, Forget every line from our former refrain. No gleam from your tower ever guided me home; It merely revealed how I weathered the foam. Bridge You summoned the storm, then retreated from view, And burned down the vessel to warm only you. Outro So keep the whole house. Keep every frost. Keep every hour and the sum of the cost. The currents are shifting, the atmosphere clear— I'm done keeping watch for a light that's not here.
