Anchors in the Noise (Gentle Indie-Pop)

[Verse 1] Desk light buzzing Open tabs Heart runs faster than the clock Every thought a shooting star Gone before it hits the dark Hands on keys But my mind drifts To every little crack and sound Breathing shallow Losing grip On the task I just wrote down [Chorus] So I count my anchors in the noise One breath in One choice Side of the mug on my palm That little scratch on my thumb If my brain keeps running wild I’ll walk it Like a child Back to now Back to this line I’m not broken I’m just wired to climb [Verse 2] Friends say “You’re just being lazy” They don’t see the hidden storm Inside jokes from yesterday Still rerun like a midnight show Sticky notes around the screen Half of them are half a thought But every scribble Every plan Is proof of all the fights I’ve fought [Chorus] So I count my anchors in the noise One breath in One choice Shoulder blades against the chair The way dust hangs in the air If my brain keeps running wild I’ll walk it Like a child Back to now Back to this line I’m not broken I’m just wired to climb [Bridge] Maybe focus isn’t stillness Maybe it’s a gentle steer (oh) Turning all the scattered pieces Into something real this year [Chorus] So I count my anchors in the noise One breath in One choice Little victories on my wall Every time I didn’t fall If my brain keeps running wild I’ll walk it Like a child Back to now Back to this mind I’m not broken I’m just wired to climb
