Concrete Heart Beats 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Grey light cuts the iron wall

Sweat drips slow down concrete floor

Fingers numb, the rhythm still pulls

Heart still pounding through the floor

Bass drum's gone but skin remembers

Still one beat behind what's moving

Every pulse a different name for

A love that never asks to stop

Hands still up and eyes stay open

Cold light seeps where warmth once stayed

Bare skin burning against the rail

Nothing left except the kick

Pulling every drop from my vein

Grey sky climbing through the wire

Flesh remembers long after bone

Still locked in this same four-time pace

Chorus

Concrete heart still beats for dawn

Iron walls will let it out

We don't stop till morning comes

Bones still moving, no regrets now

Hands up high and eyes open wide

This is how we say goodbye

Sunlight crawling where the bass used to be

And my chest keeps time with what's not there yet

Verse

Glass door creaks slow against the grate

Every sweat drop running down my spine

Fingerprints gone but floor still counts

Copper pipes are starting to gleam

Air is thick and grey as stone

My pulse runs where the lights used to shine

Iron holds what iron left behind

The wall remembers how I fell

Not in sleep, not in pain, but still

Heart still counting till it finds

Something worth the morning's light

Every drop that used to fuel the night

Now climbs slow up into the grey

Bones don't stop when bones give out

Concrete learns every single kick

So let it climb and count me dead

I'm a rhythm in an iron bed

Chorus

Concrete heart still beats for dawn

Iron walls will let it out

We don't stop till morning comes

Bones still moving, no regrets now

Hands up high and eyes open wide

This is how we say goodbye

Sunlight crawling where the bass used to be

And my chest keeps time with what's not there yet

Bridge

Not a shadow falling but a door

Wide enough for this tired chest

Let it go and let it climb

The iron holds what I've never guessed

Concrete skin still drumming on

The concrete floor, the morning grey

And every drop of water that

Ran down my arm as we fell

Turns to steam right at the gate

Outro

We don't stop till morning comes

Hands down low against the wall

Flesh remembers but it's gone

Concrete heart still beats for dawn
