The Black Crown of Ash (versione 2)

Verse

Iron dust on my collarbone

Crowd folds into the sound

Every face becomes a mirror

Signal finds me underground

Hands go up like it's a river

Water moving through the frame

No name left for what I'm feeling

Just the current, not the name

Pre-Chorus

Weight falls off before I notice

Skin remembers how to rise

Something older than a body

Lifts me out past compromise

Chorus

I wear the black crown of ash now

Nothing left but how it moves

Lose my name in the low frequency

Body built for this, nothing proves

I wear the black crown of ash now

Just the current underneath

Skin on fire, no face to keep

Signal holds what I once was

Verse

Rust and sweat along the rafters

Kick drum walking through my spine

Thousand breaths become one rhythm

Bassline answers every sign

No clock left on the wall behind us

Only pulse between the ribs

Every hand up pulls me closer

Nothing here that I can give

Pre-Chorus

Weight falls off before I notice

Skin remembers how to rise

Something older than a body

Lifts me out past compromise

Chorus

I wear the black crown of ash now

Nothing left but how it moves

Lose my name in the low frequency

Body built for this, nothing proves

I wear the black crown of ash now

Just the current underneath

Skin on fire, no face to keep

Signal holds what I once was

Bridge

Burn the paper, burn it clean

Whatever walked through me before

Crown don't fit like it did walking

Nowhere left for skin to store

Current keeps the shape of what was here

Nothing moves but this and more

Ash settles soft on hollow bone

This is where I finally belong

Chorus

I wear the black crown of ash now

Nothing left but how it moves

Lose my name in the low frequency

Body built for this, nothing proves

I wear the black crown of ash now

Just the current underneath

Skin on fire, no face to keep

Signal holds what I once was
