Grid Bleed (version 2)

Verse 1

Heavy steel door clicks behind

Cold air cuts into the mind

Steam is curling off my skin

Where the pavement wears so thin

Ears are humming in the chill

Ten-ton kick drum standing still

Pre-Chorus

Sodium amber turns to blue

Sharp light cutting straight on through

Open sky above the wire

Cooling down the basement fire

Chorus

Let the grid bleed into light

Take the fever from the night

Steel and gravel, pale and cold

Nothing left of what we hold

Let the grid bleed into light

Verse 2

Taxis crawling down the lane

Breath against the windowpane

Pupils wide against the dawn

Music stops but carries on

Damp wool heavy on my back

Footsteps hollow on the track

Pre-Chorus

Sodium amber turns to blue

Sharp light cutting straight on through

Open sky above the wire

Cooling down the basement fire

Chorus

Let the grid bleed into light

Take the fever from the night

Steel and gravel, pale and cold

Nothing left of what we hold

Let the grid bleed into light

Bridge

No more strobes and no more smoke

Just the quiet when it broke

Feel the low end drain away

Iron towers turning grey

Let the morning split the seam

Waking up inside the dream

Chorus

Let the grid bleed into light

Take the fever from the night

Steel and gravel, pale and cold

Nothing left of what we hold

Let the grid bleed into light
