Intro (atmospheric, whispered) Salt on my lips, neon moon Waves hit hard like a bassline boom Verse 1 Midnight water, LED glow Compass spinning, still I go City lights fade into foam I don’t miss land, I miss control Screens go dark, stars turn on Heart like a drum when the signal’s gone No map, no plan, just undertow If I sink tonight, at least I know Pre-Chorus (melodic, rising) I don’t need a shoreline calling my name I don’t need a crown, I don’t need the fame If I lose my balance in the open blue I’d rather be lost than halfway true Chorus (anthem but sleek) Anchor down, let the silence hit Cut the noise, let the ocean speak I don’t need gold, I don’t need a throne I got salt in my veins, I’m anchor and bone Hands up, feel the tide pull slow Heart still wild in the undertow If I go under, I go alone With the sea in my chest—I’m anchor and bone Post-Chorus (chant / vocoder stack) Anchor and bone Anchor and bone Verse 2 Messages fade like a dying flare Everyone wants me everywhere But out here quiet is loud enough Waves don’t lie, they just hit you rough I’ve been loved in temporary ways I’ve been stuck in borrowed days If I choose the dark over safe and known At least this life feels fully my own Pre-Chorus 2 I don’t need a promise wrapped in chains I don’t need a hand if it pulls me back If I fall apart in the open blue I’d rather be real than perfectly glued Chorus Anchor down, let the silence hit Cut the noise, let the ocean speak I don’t need gold, I don’t need a throne I got salt in my veins, I’m anchor and bone Hands up, feel the tide pull slow Heart still wild in the undertow If I go under, I go alone With the sea in my chest—I’m anchor and bone Bridge (minimal, emotional) If the storm takes me, let it be clean No fake lights, no in-betweens I don’t fear the dark I chose I fear a life I never owned (half-beat drop / silence) Final Chorus (bigger, layered) Anchor down, let the silence hit Cut the noise, let the ocean speak I don’t need gold, I don’t need a throne I was built for the deep—I’m anchor and bone Hands up, feel the tide pull strong If I disappear, I belong Write my name in the undertow I was never lost—I was anchor and bone Outro (echoing) Anchor and bone… Anchor and bone…
