Dorian - Redemption in the Living Room

[Intro] [Verse] The dust settles on the hardwood floor Tracing shadows by the heavy door I spent my seasons in a hollow shell Buying time in a private hell But then you stepped inside the frame And whispered every syllables of my name [Verse] The coffee cup is cold against my palm Outside the window the sky is calm I used to fear the weight of the air The heavy silence of a vacant chair But you brought a different kind of light To burn away the edges of the night [Chorus] You pulled me from the rising tide With nowhere left for me to hide A tether wrapped around my soul Making all the broken pieces whole Now the distance is a ghost I fear I only breathe when you are near [Chorus] You pulled me from the rising tide With nowhere left for me to hide A tether wrapped around my soul Making all the broken pieces whole Now the distance is a ghost I fear I only breathe when you are near [Bridge] Sometimes the walls begin to lean And I forget the grace I have seen But your memory is a steady hand Guiding me back to the solid land I am bound to the way you care Finding my salvation everywhere [Verse] The curtains sway in a gentle breeze Bringing my spirit to its knees I watch the way the morning glows Where the seeds of mercy start to grow This house is no longer a cage of stone Since I found a heart to call my own [Verse] The clock ticks on the mantel shelf I finally recognize my better self Through the worry and the restless sleep There is a promise that I mean to keep To walk the path you paved for me Toward the person I was meant to be [Chorus] You pulled me from the rising tide With nowhere left for me to hide A tether wrapped around my soul Making all the broken pieces whole Now the distance is a ghost I fear I only breathe when you are near [Chorus] You pulled me from the rising tide With nowhere left for me to hide A tether wrapped around my soul Making all the broken pieces whole Now the distance is a ghost I fear I only breathe when you are near [Outro]
