Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I’ve been tracing every fracture like a map across my skin, Counting up the places where the cold started leaking in. I used to run from shadows, used to try and outpace the rain, But you learn to breathe underwater when you’re living in the strain. Chorus And I’m dragging this anchor, but I’m still making ground, In a city of silence, I’m the only breaking sound. Yeah, I’m hollow in the center, but I’m sturdy in the shell, Growing thistles in the garden where the heavy timber fell. I’m still here, I’m just learning how to hurt well. Verse 1) I’ve been tracing every fracture like a map across my skin, Counting up the places where the cold started leaking in. I used to run from shadows, used to try and outpace the rain, But you learn to breathe underwater when you’re living in the strain. (Chorus) And I’m dragging this anchor, but I’m still making ground, In a city of silence, I’m the only breaking sound. Yeah, I’m hollow in the center, but I’m sturdy in the shell, Growing thistles in the garden where the heavy timber fell. I’m still here, I’m just learning how to hurt well. (Verse 2) There’s a comfort in the callouses, a rhythm in the ache, Finding out just how much pressure one human heart can take. The ghosts are in the hallway, but I’ve learned to let them stay, They don't steal the light no more, they just color in the gray. (Bridge) It isn't about the healing, it’s about the way you stand, With the ruins of the temple held inside a shaking hand. The cracks aren't where I'm broken, they’re where the light gets through, Turning every old regret into something tough and new. (Chorus) And I’m dragging this anchor, but I’m still making ground, In a city of silence, I’m the only breaking sound. Yeah, I’m hollow in the center, but I’m sturdy in the shell, Growing thistles in the garden where the heavy timber fell. I’m still here, I’m just learning how to hurt well. (Outro) Yeah, I'm learning... Tracing the fracture. Dragging the anchor. The garden is growing now. I’m still here.
