Steel Crown Under the Ice

Verse

Ice locked in the beam of sodium

Frost on the glass where my breath is gone

Hands up to the ceiling, wired to steel

Nothing moves but the iron below us

Every face a stranger I don't know

Bass pulls me tighter than the room will hold

Chorus

Steel crown under the ice

We are the bodies, not the name

Steel crown under the ice

Move till the morning, burn out the frame

Verse

Grey smoke drifts where the strobe has been

My own face blurs into the crowd again

Cold water running down off the beam

Every heartbeat locked to one machine

Chorus

Steel crown under the ice

We are the bodies, not the name

Steel crown under the ice

Move till the morning, burn out the frame

Bridge

Not a king and not a throne

Just skin and current and this room alone

The iron wears us down to one thin line

Chorus

Steel crown under the ice

We are the bodies, not the name

Steel crown under the ice

Move till the morning, burn out the frame

Outro

Ice turns to steam where my shoulders bend

Underneath the steel it never ends
