Perforated Core

Verse 1

Iron door swings wide

Steam off the skin

Alley full of glass

Morning bleeding in

Five AM cold

Gravel under boots

Chest wide open

Ripping out the roots

Pre-Chorus

White sky breaks

Shadows thin

No bass left

Breathe it in

Chorus

Perforated core

Daylight through the grid

Standing on the curb

Look at what we did

Perforated core

Rumbling in the bone

Sun hits the metal

Walk it off alone

Verse 2

Pavement turning pale

Sodium lamps die

Amber cut of dawn

Level with the eye

Filters on the asphalt

Jacket locked tight

Engines on the bypass

Wiping out the night

Pre-Chorus

White sky breaks

Shadows thin

No bass left

Breathe it in

Chorus

Perforated core

Daylight through the grid

Standing on the curb

Look at what we did

Perforated core

Rumbling in the bone

Sun hits the metal

Walk it off alone

Bridge

No roof above

No dark inside

Every chamber open

Nowhere left to hide

Exhale the room

Inhale the frost

Reset the machine

Total up the cost

Chorus

Perforated core

Daylight through the grid

Standing on the curb

Look at what we did

Perforated core

Rumbling in the bone

Sun hits the metal

Walk it off alone
