Harbor Mirrors

Verse

Salt wind through the boarded window frame

Twelve years of paint peeling off like a name

The harbor's full of boats that never sailed

Rust on the hinges, rope gone pale

Threw the ledger in the water, watched it sink

Every debt we owed just turned to ink

Streetlamps flicker on the empty pier

I'm done keeping score of the wasted years

Chorus

Burn the harbor mirrors, let the glass fall dark

Every version of me dies out where it started

Drive until the smoke's a memory, a spark

We're not who we were, we're not who we were, we're not who we were

Verse

Found your old key ring under the seat

Threw it in the water where the tide and the current meet

Warehouse windows catching amber light

We're loading up the truck before it turns to night

Gasoline on the dock, a match against the wind

Watch it climb the timbers where the story ends

The gulls scatter loud into the gray

There's nothing here worth turning back to save

Chorus

Burn the harbor mirrors, let the glass fall dark

Every version of me dies out where it started

Drive until the smoke's a memory, a spark

We're not who we were, we're not who we were, we're not who we were

Bridge

Maybe I was never built for staying still

Maybe every scar's a map up some new hill

I don't need the ashes to tell me who I am

Just the road unwinding like a steady hand

Final Chorus

Burn the harbor mirrors, let the glass fall dark

Every version of me dies out where it started

Drive until the smoke's a memory, a spark

Watch the water swallow every name we used to be

We're not who we were, we're not who we were

We're finally free
