The Anchor That Never Sailed

Verse 1

The hallway knows your footsteps still

Echoes like a stone dropped in a frozen well

Your jacket hangs like a question mark

On the hook where shadows start to darken

Pre-Chorus

Grief is a room with no door

And I keep walking through the floor

Chorus

Heavy like the anchor of a ship that never sailed

You were the thunder and I was just the hail

Now silence wears your voice like a borrowed coat

And I'm still trying to reach the note you wrote

Verse 2

The morning breaks its own routine

Coffee cup where you'd been seventeen

I found your laugh inside a photograph

It bit my hand like a feral half

Pre-Chorus

Grief is a room with no door

And I keep walking through the floor

Chorus

Heavy like the anchor of a ship that never sailed

You were the thunder and I was just the hail

Now silence wears your voice like a borrowed coat

And I'm still trying to reach the note you wrote

Bridge

Time is a thief with your face

Stealing the space you used to take

And memory is a wild dog

Sleeping on the rug where you took off your shoes

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Heavy like the anchor of a ship that never sailed

You were the thunder and I was just the hail

Now silence wears your voice like a borrowed coat

And I'm still trying to reach the note you wrote
