The Iron Crown (versie 3)

Verse

Concrete vein under the floor

Bassline drags through a hundred more

Iron crown in the low-end hum

Nothing broken, nothing done

Sweat dries cold before it falls

Ribs remember every wall

Hands still moving on their own

Long past daylight's been thrown

Pre-Chorus

Grey turns thin where the black used to be

Still no light that can set me free

Feet keep time till the walls go white

The crown don't fall, it just shifts its weight

Chorus

Iron crown, iron crown

Sun comes up and I don't come down

Iron crown, iron crown

Skin remembers every sound

Verse

Copper taste where the night was dry

Shadows fold into the sky

Knees still locked to a rhythm gone

The black turns grey but it won't let go

Vents exhale what the room has kept

Air runs cold through a body deep

No sun yet, just the iron glow

Nothing here that wants to slow

Pre-Chorus

Grey turns thin where the black used to be

Still no light that can set me free

Feet keep time till the walls go white

The crown don't fall, it just shifts its weight

Chorus

Iron crown, iron crown

Sun comes up and I don't come down

Iron crown, iron crown

Skin remembers every sound

Bridge

Let it rise slow through the bone

Let it find me when I'm gone

No gold now, just the grey

Still dancing on an empty day

Chorus

Iron crown, iron crown

Sun comes up and I don't come down

Iron crown, iron crown

Skin remembers every sound
