Iron Lungs (versione 2)

Verse

Rust on your collarbone where the steel air goes through

Your eyes are a map of everything you can't do

Chainlink fence and the low-end's steady hand

I hold my own breath till it cuts across the land

Iron lungs counting out what we're made to bear

Every step feels heavy, every word turns rare

Pre-Chorus

We don't breathe till the room goes white

Feed the iron, feed the night

Chorus

Iron lungs, take us in

Verse 2

Concrete walls holding water where our names used to be

You find your own light inside a drum that won't let you be

Copper wire humming round every rib we bend

I know this is exactly what we're made for, again and again

Pre-Chorus

We don't breathe till the room goes white

Feed the iron, feed the night

Chorus

Iron lungs, take us in

Bridge

No air that's not a current running through the floor

Every pulse is a promise we'll never walk out of this place again

Outro

Take us in...

Iron lungs...
