Corrosion Clock (Version 2)

Verse

Grey light leaks through the fire door

Ash on the floor where the smoke was

Speakers cold now, hands still shake

Six a.m. and my pulse won't break

Pre-Chorus

Rust in the wires, rust in the vein

Corrosion counting, corrosion counting

Second hand drags through the stain

Corrosion counting, corrosion counting

Chorus

Sunrise burns where the strobe light died

Corrosion clock ticking on the other side

Skin still ringing, eyes still wide

Corrosion clock ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking

Verse

Bassbin silent, bones still hum

Taxi lights bleed into the sun

Metal railing, warm and bright

Yesterday melts into white

Pre-Chorus

Rust in the wires, rust in the vein

Corrosion counting, corrosion counting

Second hand drags through the stain

Corrosion counting, corrosion counting

Chorus

Sunrise burns where the strobe light died

Corrosion clock ticking on the other side

Skin still ringing, eyes still wide

Corrosion clock ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking

Bridge

No door left to hide behind

Just the acid gold of daytime

Every hour eats the last

Corrosion clock don't hold the past

Chorus

Sunrise burns where the strobe light died

Corrosion clock ticking on the other side

Skin still ringing, eyes still wide

Corrosion clock ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
