(Verse 1) I used to know where the anchor was Buried deep in the mud of the bank We sat by the water, the sun going down Watching the little ships that we sank But the stream dried up in the morning light And the current pulled you out of sight Now I’m standing here on the edge of the stone Reaching for signals on a dead-air phone The silence is loud and it’s taking its toll And the water is cold where it used to be whole (Chorus) My paper’s wet, my fire’s cold My story’s stopped, I’m growing old I hold my breath, and close my eyes But the dawn won't break, there's no surprise Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain (Verse 2) I remember the call, the weather report The mundane lines that we kept in the queue We talked about football, a trivial sport I didn’t know it was the last of the view And the glass just shattered Nothing else mattered Just the echo of things that we said And my heart is still waking To the silence you’re making With all of the words that are trapped in my head (Chorus) My paper’s wet, my fire’s cold My story’s stopped, I’m growing old I hold my breath, and close my eyes But the dawn won't break, there's no surprise Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain (Bridge) I’m a ghost in the room with your possessions I’m a shadow trying to make a confession Trying to put it back together As I watch the pieces fall apart I’m a ghost in the room with your possessions I’m a shadow trying to make a confession Trying to put it back together As I watch it fall apart (Chorus) My paper’s wet, my fire’s cold My story’s stopped, I’m growing old I hold my breath, and close my eyes But the dawn won't break, there's no surprise Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain Now we're free from pain, free from pain
