Iron Tide 4

Verse

Black door, red sign, the number on the wall

Concrete floor where they counted us all

Cold beam, steel teeth, the iron hum runs deep

Every hour gone when I wake up and sleep

Sweat on chrome, no name left here

Just the kick drum keeping time with fear

Pre-Chorus

The tide comes in where the light gets thin

Feel it pull the skin right off my spine

Chorus

Iron tide, iron tide, wash me clean inside

Every hand that falls I leave behind

Machine runs on when the sun goes down

Let the current drag this whole town out of the sound

Verse 2

Sixteen bars for every hour gone

Chain on the door where the shift ends at dawn

Siren fades into the hum above

Bones to the floor, no room left for love

Every face that leaves before I do

Erased like static on a number two

Pre-Chorus

The tide comes in where the light gets thin

Feel it pull the skin right off my spine

Chorus

Iron tide, iron tide, wash me clean inside

Every hand that falls I leave behind

Machine runs on when the sun goes down

Let the current drag this whole town out of the sound

Bridge

No name left to call what's left of me

Just the hum and the pull of the sea

Concrete floor turns into blue

Iron tide is washing over you

I let it take the weight off my chest

Nothing here worth keeping, nothing I've lost yet

Chorus

Iron tide, iron tide, wash me clean inside

Every hand that falls I leave behind

Machine runs on when the sun goes down

Let the current drag this whole town out of the sound
