Iron in the Tide (version 2)

Verse

Crown sits heavy on the rail above us

Iron in the water, it doesn't know we're alive

Salt and the current, pull you under the surface

Current wears the iron down to nothing left

Waves keep breaking where our names dissolve into them

Pre-Chorus

Something old is pulling at your chest now

Every wave is wearing down every shore

You don't resist it — you let it take you in

Iron in the tide that's wearing me away like sand

I don't try to hold on, I just go under with it

Chorus

Iron in the tide that pulls us through

Crown comes loose and lets us go free

Nothing left of us but what we've given

Bodies made of water and the iron that we chose

Verse 2

Salt runs into my mouth like a river's mouth open wide

Hands let go, I fall soft where the current takes me

Your name gets pulled under where mine was buried deep

No crown left sitting — nothing to save, nothing to keep

Pre-Chorus

Something old is pulling at your chest now

Every wave is wearing down every shore

You don't resist it — you let it take you in

Iron in the tide that's wearing me away like sand

Chorus

Iron in the tide that pulls us through

Crown comes loose and lets us go free

Nothing left of us but what we've given

Bodies made of water and the iron that we chose

Bridge

Let it pull — let it hold you under where I'm standing

No crown, no name — just two bodies floating in a tide of iron

Current carries the heavy things that weigh us down to the bottom

Nothing left to hide behind when there's nothing here to lose

Chorus

Iron in the tide that pulls us through

Crown comes loose and lets us go free

Nothing left of us but what we've given

Bodies made of water and the iron that we chose
