Iron Skin in Amber

Verse

Black coat on the metal rail

Fingers leave a print that won't erase

Four hours in and I still don't know where we stand

Windows painted amber by the same sun twice

Every face here is a stranger's back

Static hums low under my chest

I keep moving till the static clears

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long before the light gives way

Tell me if tonight will hold or break apart at dawn

The room breathes slow like it's waiting on a signal

Every heartbeat keeps us tied to this floor

Chorus

Iron skin in amber heat

Moving till the morning breaks

Hands up, heart still beating

We ride the dark until we're whole again

Verse 2

Bassline drops and the room swallows air

Somebody's jacket left on a chair

Smoke curls thin above the crowd

I lose your face but I don't look away

The floor pulls me back to the same four counts

Strangers turn to something like family

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long before the light gives way

Tell me if tonight will hold or break apart at dawn

The room breathes slow like it's waiting on a signal

Every heartbeat keeps us tied to this floor

Chorus

Iron skin in amber heat

Moving till the morning breaks

Hands up, heart still beating

We ride the dark until we're whole again

Bridge

No names here, just heat and pulse

The walls won't hold if we don't believe

Every step keeps us breathing as one

Till the room turns white and the night lets go

Chorus

Iron skin in amber heat

Moving till the morning breaks

Hands up, heart still beating

We ride the dark until we're whole again
