Rising Tide (Version 2)

Verse

Steel gates opening, concrete cracking under skin

Concrete veins pulsing where the city begins

Sweat and static on my collarbone tonight

Every dollar I spent turned to diamond light

Bass line kicking through the soles of my boots

Rising up like a tidal wave through the roots

Spinning in amber, gold on my tongue

City waking as we turn it into song

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building beneath our feet

Every single heartbeat pulling at the heat

Chorus

I'm a rising tide and I won't stop until we're free

Money melting like mist in the morning breeze

Hands up high where the sky turns silver white

This is ours now, this is our night

Verse

Rust belt shining where the factory lights used to hum

Every shadow dancing till the break of dawn comes

Chainlink rattling as the gates swing open wide

Nothing left of fear inside my chest tonight

Concrete cracked but it's healing fast

Your hand on my spine like a drum that won't last

Neon bleeding into the first light gold

This is what the whole town was waiting to be told

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building beneath our feet

Every single heartbeat pulling at the heat

Chorus

I'm a rising tide and I won't stop until we're free

Money melting like mist in the morning breeze

Hands up high where the sky turns silver white

This is ours now, this is our night

Bridge

Not a riot line, it's an open door

Every wall that fell on the pavement floor

Something ancient moving through my chest

This is what the tide of freedom means at best

Chorus

I'm a rising tide and I won't stop until we're free

Money melting like mist in the morning breeze

Hands up high where the sky turns silver white

This is ours now, this is our night
