Burn for the Currency (Version 2)

Verse

City lights bleed into the cold

Your eyes lock through a window pane

Steel tower hums where the frost turns grey

Every second here costs what I've gained

Floor tiles cold but your hand stays warm

Riot sirens fade behind us now

This one trade, this one small debt paid

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's worth the burning down

Chorus

Burn for the currency, burn it clean

Melt the walls between the city and the night

Steel and starlight on your skin tonight

Nothing left to prove, just fuel the fire

Verse 2

Bike chain rattles where the drainpipes sleep

Your boots leave prints in frozen stone

Every shadow here has a price tag now

Something's counting what we don't own

Glass window shatters, amber on the floor

We are collateral the city never told us for

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's worth the burning down

Chorus

Burn for the currency, burn it clean

Melt the walls between the city and the night

Steel and starlight on your skin tonight

Nothing left to prove, just fuel the fire

Bridge

Maybe nothing built from iron stays

Maybe that was always the trade we made

Outro

Burn for the currency

Chorus

Burn for the currency, burn it clean

Melt the walls between the city and the night

Steel and starlight on your skin tonight

Nothing left to prove, just fuel the fire
