Iron Skyline 2 (version 2)

Verse

City lights reflected off the river shine

Concrete canyon swallowing up my mind

Every night I wander through these streets alone

I know a thousand faces but none feel home

The Ferris wheel turns slow and round at midnight

Cigarette smoke hanging in the air tonight

I'm searching for a spark to light me free

Something that will chase the darkness from my eyes

Pre-Chorus

So who's hiding behind this neon haze?

Is it me or just a thousand strangers I've met on the way?

Chorus

Iron skyline, pulling us apart

Iron skyline, locking us in the dark

Iron skyline, shining through the glass

Iron skyline, we're just shadows in the past

Verse 2

Bassline humming like a live wire through my chest

I lose myself in every passing face I've met

The city never sleeps but tonight it seems to sway

For one wild moment maybe we can all be free today

Every single light, a ghost of love and pain

Every stranger's eyes, a story I'll never know again

I'm chasing fireflies through the iron rain

But every step forward pulls me back into this chain

Pre-Chorus

So who's hiding behind this neon haze?

Is it me or just a thousand strangers I've met on the way?

Chorus

Iron skyline, pulling us apart

Iron skyline, locking us in the dark

Iron skyline, shining through the glass

Iron skyline, we're just shadows in the past

Bridge

Maybe tonight we all let go of our name

Just for one small second, maybe we can break this frame

But as I watch that Ferris wheel spin round and round

I know this city's got a hold on every single soul around

Chorus

Iron skyline, pulling us apart

Iron skyline, locking us in the dark

Iron skyline, shining through the glass

Iron skyline, we're just shadows in the past
