Iron Silk

Verse

City streets empty of the night

Grey dawn climbing through the blinds

Windows full of static haze

Your hand still in mine, we don't mind

Buses rumble down below

Fog rolls off the pavement slow

Pre-Chorus

What's left when the lights go out?

Is it just a shadow, or our sound?

Chorus

Iron silk, iron silk

Pulling us through till daylight's grip

Nothing breaks this fragile thread

Iron silk, pulling me to you instead

Verse 2

Your fingers tangled in my hair

Ivory glow on your white skin there

The city stirs from its sleep

Pigeons scatter off the ledge

We're the only ones still left on the edge

Pre-Chorus

What's left when the lights go out?

Is it just a shadow, or our sound?

Chorus

Iron silk, iron silk

Pulling us through till daylight's grip

Nothing breaks this fragile thread

Iron silk, pulling me to you instead

Bridge

Maybe that's what we were made of

Metal and smoke in the gray

Outro

Your hand still warm where it used to be

Just a thread left, iron silk for me
