Ivory Daylight (version 2)

Verse 1

Fire exit kicks wide, cold on the teeth

Sub in the sternum, smoke underneath

Ears whistle hollow, five in the morn

Pavement is slick where the night gets torn

Black tint rolling, engine on idle

Gravel and grease like a heavy revival

Pre-Chorus

Bleed the dark out, watch it spill

Sky turn chalky on the hill

Bassline shaking in my spine

Running out of borrowed time

Chorus

Ivory daylight cutting through the haze

Ghost in the alley, lost in the maze

Ivory daylight cold upon the chrome

Watch the shadows creep until we make it home

Verse 2

Shades on my face so they don't see the pale

Ten-ton kicks leaving tread on the rail

Street cleaner humming, sweeping the glass

Breathing in petrol, watching it pass

Jawline locked, hood pulled down low

Nowhere left for the fever to go

Pre-Chorus

Bleed the dark out, watch it spill

Sky turn chalky on the hill

Bassline shaking in my spine

Running out of borrowed time

Chorus

Ivory daylight cutting through the haze

Ghost in the alley, lost in the maze

Ivory daylight cold upon the chrome

Watch the shadows creep until we make it home

Bridge

No neon left to hide behind

White sun sharp, white sun blind

Rumble in the gutter, rumble in the head

Count the quiet steps where the demons bled

Chorus

Ivory daylight cutting through the haze

Ghost in the alley, lost in the maze

Ivory daylight cold upon the chrome

Watch the shadows creep until we make it home
