Iron Below (버전 2)

Verse

Steel ribs arch above my head

Grime sweats cold along the wall

Eyes go shut behind the grate

Breath comes hard across the floor

Rust beneath my palms

The iron remembers every name

I am not a ghost I am still standing

Skin and stone, same grey light

Fingertips trace where shadows lean

Floor holds me like a promise made

Nothing here will let it go

Pre-Chorus

Hands to the beam, chest to the heat

The dark gives way beneath my feet

Let the ground come up through stone

Hold this weight and you are not alone

Something older learns to stand

Something ancient wakes its hand

Chorus

Iron below me, iron above me

I am the tide it cannot move

Every name that rusted in the street

Rises up beneath my feet

This is how we learn to breathe

Underground and still we rise

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hide

The crown of rust still opens wide

Verse 2

Copper pipes hum low behind my spine

Gears turn slow where no one has to sign

Knees go numb beneath the grate

Hands remember every name the stone erases at

Walls forget but I remember walls

Skin remembers walls before it was a wall

Every beam a story that the wind won't tell

Underneath the city, underneath my skin

This is how we learn to stand again

Pre-Chorus

Hands to the beam, chest to the heat

The dark gives way beneath my feet

Let the ground come up through stone

Hold this weight and you are not alone

Something older learns to stand

Something ancient wakes its hand

Chorus

Iron below me, iron above me

I am the tide it cannot move

Every name that rusted in the street

Rises up beneath my feet

This is how we learn to breathe

Underground and still we rise

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hide

The crown of rust still opens wide

Bridge

Not a grave not a door

Just the iron learning more about what it holds

Every name that rusted in the street

Becomes the thing beneath my feet

I was lost inside myself until I learned to bend towards this steel

Chorus

Iron below me, iron above me

I am the tide it cannot move

Every name that rusted in the street

Rises up beneath my feet

This is how we learn to breathe

Underground and still we rise

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hide

The crown of rust still opens wide
