Dim-Lit Anchor

[Verse 1]
The city sleeps, a murmuring, stone-gray sigh,
But here, our silent scaffolding holds us high.
No need for blueprints etched in morning's glare,
Just velvet shadows, whispering what we dare.

[Chorus]
This quiet anchor, softly built of night,
Would crumble in the unforgiving light.
A fragile edifice, we understand,
Only shadows lend it a steady hand.

[Verse 2]
Outside, the rain still polishes the eaves,
And every cobblestone, its lonely story weaves.
We built our refuge from the world's harsh view,
A haven cast in amber, me and you.

[Bridge]
Perhaps the weight of truth, a heavy stone,
Could shift the fragile ground we've gently known.
So let the dawn remain a distant hum,
Before our borrowed scaffolding comes undone.

[Chorus]
This quiet anchor, softly built of night,
Would crumble in the unforgiving light.
A fragile edifice, we understand,
Only shadows lend it a steady hand.

[Outro]
Just these embers glowing, till the shadows cease,
Our muted cornerstone of bittersweet peace.
