Iron Vein (version 2)

Verse

Sweat turns to ice down my spine

Cold steel rail hums through the dark

Every step I take is a spark

I lose myself in the smoke and light

Burning through the iron vein tonight

Fingers leave prints on the wall

Rust under my fingernails, cold as stone

Heavy air, no breath to call

Bassline cuts like a blade

Cutting me loose where the floor ends

The room is one long nerve line

Where nothing bends and nothing gives

Pre-Chorus

Pull the rail, draw the power

Feel it spreading through my hour

Hold the current in your teeth

Take it all till there's nothing left

Chorus

Iron vein running through my veins

I am fuel for what remains

Static in the wire, heat in my skin

Drinking from the iron vein again

Verse

Wires on the ceiling like a spider's web

Sweat freezes slow as the night grows still

Every heartbeat pulls me deeper down

Nothing to lose but what I will not find

Bones numb where the hum hits hard

Iron pulling me off the floor

No name for this in my chest

Just the rail and what it takes from me still

Pre-Chorus

Pull the rail, draw the power

Feel it spreading through my hour

Hold the current in your teeth

Take it all till there's nothing left

Chorus

Iron vein running through my veins

I am fuel for what remains

Static in the wire, heat in my skin

Drinking from the iron vein again

Bridge

No breath to call my own

Just the pull and what I've sown

Cut the cord, let it go

Watch myself burn slow

Chorus

Iron vein running through my veins

I am fuel for what remains

Static in the wire, heat in my skin

Drinking from the iron vein again
