(Intro)
(Soft, atmospheric hum or piano notes)
(Breath sounds)
(Verse 1)
Your side of the bed is an ocean now
Cold static hums through this hollowed-out house
The coffee is bitter, the morning is grey
I’m still rehearsing the things I should say
But the walls only whisper the ghost of your name
And I’m left here standing, just fanning the flame.
(Chorus)
And I’m drowning in the echoes you left behind
Searching for a trace that I just can’t find
It’s the weight of the silence, the space in the air
I reach for your hand but there’s nobody there
Yeah, it’s a long way down when the anchor breaks
And I’m counting the pieces of all my mistakes.
(Verse 2)
I saw your reflection in a stranger today
For a heartbeat, I thought you were coming my way
But the light hit the glass and the vision dissolved
Just another mystery left unresolved
We built up a kingdom on shifting white sand
Now I’m holding the blueprints with no place to stand.
(Chorus)
And I’m drowning in the echoes you left behind
Searching for a trace that I just can’t find
It’s the weight of the silence, the space in the air
I reach for your hand but there’s nobody there
Yeah, it’s a long way down when the anchor breaks
And I’m counting the pieces of all my mistakes.
(Bridge)
They say time is a healer, but time is a thief
It steals all the color and leaves only grief
I’m learning to breathe in a room with no oxygen
Waiting for the day I feel human again
(Just feel human again...)
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break - 30 seconds)
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I’m drowning in the echoes you left behind
Still searching for a trace that I’ll never find
It’s the weight of the silence, the chill in the air
I’m learning to live while you’re no longer there
It’s a long way down when the anchor breaks
But I’m healing the pieces of all my mistakes.
(Outro)
Your side of the bed... it’s an ocean now.
(Fading out)
Just a ghost in the doorway.
A lingering doubt.
(Silence)
