Copper Pulse on the Rails (Version 2)

Intro

Pulse on the rails

Verse

Stove pipe breath where the steel meets floor

Three a.m. heat and the current score

Sweat slick skin against cold concrete wall

Nothing left but the pulse in my ears at all

Chorus

Copper pulse on the rails

Moving heavy, locked in chains

Copper pulse on the rails

Nothing left but this endless gain

Verse

Steam from the joints like a fog that never lifts

Shoes scuff against the steel where the rhythm shifts

Hips sway slow where the metal bends and twists

Every step is an echo, no beginning to miss

Chorus

Copper pulse on the rails

Moving heavy, locked in chains

Copper pulse on the rails

Nothing left but this endless gain

Bridge

No doors, no walls, just iron and my chest

The whole world is one long furnace test

Rust in my lungs but I won't slow down

This heat will burn before it turns around

Chorus

Copper pulse on the rails

Moving heavy, locked in chains

Copper pulse on the rails

Nothing left but this endless gain
