Anchor in the Storm

[Verse 1]
Wake up on the floor again
Pill bottles on the nightstand
Walls breathing in and out
My head a broken siren
You pull the curtains just a crack
Say
"Baby
There's still daylight"
Wrap my shaking hands in yours
Promise me I'll make it through tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
You hold my chaos
Like it's something holy
Sit in the silence
Till it doesn't own me
[Chorus]
You are my anchor in the storm
When I go under
You keep me warm
When every heartbeat feels like war
You remind me what this heart is for
You are my anchor in the storm
My best friend
My blood
My home
[Verse 2]
High tide
Low tide in my chest
Rising fast
Then dropping dead
I say I'm poison
Say I'm gone
You laugh and kiss my aching head
You learn the names of all my ghosts
Put coffee on for every one
Stay up counting out my breaths
Till the black night turns to rust-red sun
[Pre-Chorus]
You map my madness
Like familiar streets
Walk every corner
Till the shadows leave
[Chorus]
You are my anchor in the storm
When I go under
You keep me warm
When every heartbeat feels like war
You remind me what this heart is for
You are my anchor in the storm
My best friend
My blood
My home
[Bridge]
[Screamed] I am not my diagnosis
I am not this rising wave
You shout it louder than my voices
Till I start to believe I'm saved
[Spoken
Strained] When I hate the face inside the mirror
You still say my name like a prayer
[Chorus]
You are my anchor in the storm
When I go under
You keep me warm
When every heartbeat feels like war
You remind me what this heart is for
You are my anchor in the storm
My best friend
My blood
My home (my home)
