Intro
Steam off the vent
Boots on cement
Turn the siren down
Let the soles hit the ground
Verse
Steam from the grate, yellow cab on the curb
Rubber on the stone, got the corner getting blurred
Siren down the avenue, crying at the brick
My pulse got a meter and it's clicking double quick (quick)
Three-twenty-one on the digital sign
Kicking up the grit on the yellow transit line
Shoulder check the shadow where the alleyway bend
Ribcage rattling, rattle it again (again)
Sweat under nylon, zipper to the chin
City talk loud but the rhythm settle in
Heel hit concrete, echo down the hall
Writing out the message with a knuckle to the wall (wall)
Subway underfoot like a motor in the dirt
Feel it in the collar, feel it in the shirt
Headlights flash, red paint on the chrome
My shins know the count and they walking us home (home)
Chorus
Through the noise, through the noise, watch the body cut clear
Pavement shake when the kick land here
Through the noise, through the noise, let the static divide
Every single bone got a speaker inside
Verse
Broken glass singing like a tambourine ring
Chain link rattling, electric wire swing
Two-dollar lighter flicking spark in the air
Neon buzz hot on the grease in my hair (hair)
Block full of chatter, radios clash
Heavy iron shutter coming down with a crash
Tense on the strip where the cruisers roll slow
Hips keep the cadence, ready for the go (go)
Tire skid sideways, horn in the dark
My lungs take the diesel and I spit it like a spark
El train screaming on the high rail track
Stomp to the shudder till it shudders right back (back)
Cold wind biting at the gap in my sleeve
Nothing in the concrete telling me to leave
Ankles locked in, snap when the rhythm jump
Tell the whole avenue we live on the thump (thump)
Chorus
Through the noise, through the noise, watch the body cut clear
Pavement shake when the kick land here
Through the noise, through the noise, let the static divide
Every single bone got a speaker inside
Bridge
Hold it in the throat, let the iron drop down
Every traffic light blinking amber at the town
Feet don't stutter on a fractured stone
Turn a siren wail to a microphone (phone)
Bass hit the gut, no room to retreat
Blood got an engine that can outrun the street
Feel the grid hum from the scalp to the toes
Push through the static everywhere that it goes (goes)
Outro
Through the noise (clear)
Through the noise (here)
Watch the body cut clear
Hit the curb, hit the line
Every single bone on time
Through the noise
