Salt-Washed Silence

[Verse 1]
Summer's tide erased the screen's bright glow,
Left my phone behind, like driftwood on the shore.
Just the wind and gulls, and brine-laced air,
My own silent thoughts, the only news to share.

[Chorus]
That salt-laced wind brought my old self back home,
Just the shore and me, beneath the ocean's foam.
Found a new horizon, far beyond the tide,
Where my quiet heart could finally reside.

[Verse 2]
Days stretched out, like mist across the bay,
Each quiet morning washed the noise away.
Felt the damp stone, lichen-covered, cool and deep,
Promises of solace, the ocean currents keep.

[Chorus]
That salt-laced wind brought my old self back home,
Just the shore and me, beneath the ocean's foam.
Found a new horizon, far beyond the tide,
Where my quiet heart could finally reside.

[Bridge]
The undertow pulled back the anxious years,
Heard the sea's sigh, silencing my fears.
A deep current stirring, where I used to hide,
Learning how to breathe, with nowhere left to ride.

[Outro]
Still feel that summer, a compass in my soul,
Made me feel again, completely whole.
