Anchored at a Distance

Verse 1

Painted glass

Fractured scenes I couldn't grasp back then

Silent house

Empty spaces where the answers went

Pre-Chorus

You carried the weight

Kept the thorns far away

Watching your face

Try to hide every fray

Chorus

I love you mother

Truly I do

But I won't go through

What I saw with him

Know my heart stays anchored

Even when I leave

This heavy air

That we breathe

Verse 2

Brother asked

About the storm that lived behind your eyes

Kitchen light

Shaking hands beneath the midnight guise

Pre-Chorus

You guarded the gate

Buried every mistake

Taking the blow

For our own sake

Chorus

I love you mother

Truly I do

But I won't go through

What I saw with him

Know my heart stays anchored

Even when I leave

This heavy air

That we breathe

Bridge

I was the one chasing shadows for your touch

Waiting for a door to finally swing wide

But you had maps I could never ever see

With plans that didn't let me stand by your side

Still I stayed

Always I stayed

Chorus

I love you mother

Truly I do

But I won't go through

What I saw with him

Know my heart stays anchored

Even when I leave

This heavy air

That we breathe

Outro

With all my heart

All my life

I am here

Just not there

True love stays

True love stays

Wherever you are

Just know my arms

Remember you
