Dawnlight on the iron skin (version 2)

Verse

Rust and smoke where yesterday's machines went cold

Pavement dark as water, streetlights humming low

I find you in the shadows where the dawnlight leaks through

A city waking slow, a million stars still true

Pre-Chorus

Every edge I used to hold begins to blur and bend

And something like my whole self starts to unravel out again

Do I let it rise or do I stay behind?

Or is this just the start of losing everything that's mine

Chorus

Where the dawnlight crawls across your face

I lose myself in every single place

Every line you hold begins to fade into the light

And something like my whole self starts to take flight

Verse

Barefoot on the pavement, dust between our toes

We dance through alleys empty of their daytime clothes

A thousand streetlamps stuttering green above us glow

We're not a single thing that can be written down in gold

Pre-Chorus

Every edge I used to hold begins to blur and bend

And something like my whole self starts to unravel out again

Do I let it rise or do I stay behind?

Or is this just the start of losing everything that's mine

Chorus

Where the dawnlight crawls across your face

I lose myself in every single place

Every line you hold begins to fade into the light

And something like my whole self starts to take flight

Bridge

Mm...

Maybe I was never here at all

Just a shadow moving through the city's wall

You were always just a ghost that I could see

And this is just the start of finding where we truly be

Chorus

Where the dawnlight crawls across your face

I lose myself in every single place

Every line you hold begins to fade into the light

And something like my whole self starts to take flight
