Undercurrent - Part 1 - Still Water (Mirror)

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Voice 1: measured, detached, steady]
A shape held still against the tide
The quiet masking what's inside
The frame looks whole from where you stand
Built on water, not on land

[Verse 1 - Voice 2: cutting, aware, closer]
You've been counting doors again
Drawing maps beneath your skin
The anchor drags but doesn't hold
You're not still — you're just controlled

[Chorus]
Drift and anchor, anchor, drift
Feel the current start to shift
Holding on to what might break
Letting go of what's at stake

[Verse 2 - Voice 1: the rehearsal, the threshold]
A shadow standing at the edge
One foot forward, one foot ledge
The leap lives only in your head
You chose the anchor, drift instead

[Verse 2 - Voice 2: the past, the fog]
Fog is rolling from the past
Every wound becomes a mast
Sailing forward looking back
The compass spins, the water's black

[Chorus]
Drift and anchor, anchor, drift
Feel the current start to shift
Holding on to what might break
Letting go of what's at stake

[Solo: atmospheric, dissonant, tension without release]

[Bridge: voices overlapping]
We live in two rooms at once
One is here and one is gone
The floor holds still, the floor gives way
We stay, we leave, we stay, we stay

[Chorus]
Drift and anchor, anchor, drift
Feel the current start to shift
Holding on to what might break
Letting go of what's at stake

[Outro: one voice, stripped]
The water's calm
The water's calm
The undercurrent pulls
The undercurrent pulls
