Iron Static (version 2)

Intro

Grey light through the steel

Iron static.

Let it rise.

Verse 1 – male vocal

Cold air on my skin

Every pulse I let in

Floor is shaking under my feet

Breathe it out, let it repeat

Pre-Chorus – clipped robotic phrasing

Feel the charge start to climb

Skin turns white against the line

Chorus – male and female duet vocals

Iron static in the veins

Let it take what's left of my name

Hands go up where the light meets steel

This is how we learn to feel

Verse 2 – male vocal, slightly warmer than verse one

The bass pulls at my collarbone

Nobody owns this room alone

Every face I see through smoke and haze

Is just another pulse that stays

Pre-Chorus – clipped robotic phrasing, both voices trading lines

Feel the charge start to climb

Skin turns white against the line

Chorus – male and female duet vocals

Iron static in the veins

Let it take what's left of my name

Hands go up where the light meets steel

This is how we learn to feel

Bridge – male and female vocal trade lines, call-and-response

Give me more.

Let it rise.

Till there's nothing left but this.

Till there's nothing left but this

Chorus – male and female duet vocals, full and soaring now

Iron static in the veins

Let it take what's left of my name

Hands go up where the light meets steel

This is how we learn to feel

Outro

Keep it rising.

Never stop.

Stay right here.

Until the dark comes.
