(Verse 1)
In the hushed gray light of this hollow room
You weave your silence like a weaver’s loom
The doctor in the chair sees the ghost you’ve drawn
But I’m the one waiting for a frozen dawn.
You’re miles away in a house so near
Building an exit out of every fear
While I hold the anchor in the rising tide
Watching the space where you used to hide.
(Chorus)
I’m just a hotel for your transit heart
A place to rest before you drift apart.
You crowd my hallways, then you call it small
While I’m the one leaning 'gainst the closing wall.
I see the blueprints, I see the design
You’re drafting a life that no longer is mine.
(Verse 2)
Three houses down, where I seek my peace
You’ve planted your seeds for a cold release.
You promised me silence, but you stole the air
Leaving your footprints in my sanctuary there.
Now you sleep in the quiet of a broken vow
While the weight of the "almost" is crushing me now.
(Bridge)
Eleven days of a scripted play
Under a sun that feels a thousand miles away.
You’re counting the hours til the curtain can fall
While I’m just the shadow on your bedroom wall.
(Outro)
The cello fades to a single breath...
The check-out is written in the silence you left.
I’m finally waking from the doting lie.
Build your bridges.
Watch them fly.
