Iron Skies 4

Verse 1

Sky turns steel

Concrete hums beneath my feet

Every light a flicker of the grind

Copper wire and rust in every seam

Ghosts along the alleyway

Shadows hiding what they say

Bare bulb swinging slow above

This is how we learn to love

Fingers tracing iron bars

Cold against the sun's pale scar

Windows cracked where winds used to blow

Every night a new thing grows

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your chest?

Amber light and restless nest

What do they say about the ones who stay?

Nothing, nothing at all today

Chorus

Iron skies above us now

Bare feet on the rusty ground

We don't leave when the sun comes up

Only what we've built ourselves

Iron skies above us now

Cold against my skin and slow

This is where I draw my line

Where you go, nobody's told me that

Verse 2

Sirens cut through the heavy air

Bleeding red in every corner square

Rusted gates but still we climb up high

Every risk a reason to try

Lantern swinging over empty lots

Shadows shifting like they're watching plots

Who decides when you finally break?

Only what's left on your own awake

Fingertips tracing broken glass

Every window counts the hours passed

Stained concrete and a distant bell

This is how we learn to dwell

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your chest?

Amber light and restless nest

What do they say about the ones who stay?

Nothing, nothing at all today

Chorus

Iron skies above us now

Bare feet on the rusty ground

We don't leave when the sun comes up

Only what we've built ourselves

Iron skies above us now

Cold against my skin and slow

This is where I draw my line

Where you go, nobody's told me that

Bridge

Maybe this is all there ever was

Rust beneath our fingers

We don't ask for permission here

Just the sky's dark iron we swear

Chorus

Iron skies above us now

Bare feet on the rusty ground

We don't leave when the sun comes up

Only what we've built ourselves

Iron skies above us now

Cold against my skin and slow

This is where I draw my line

Where you go, nobody's told me that
