Rust Crown 4

Verse

Iron dust settles soft on the crown

Sweat cuts through where my collar turned down

The room breathes slow, a hundred chests aligned

Your eyes cut mine from across the line

The light above goes amber, then it's gone

Smoke drifts heavy where your shadow's thrown

I feel your pulse through the hand you hold on tight

Steel and heat in the dark of night

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb up through the floor?

Every heartbeat answers every door

Chorus

Rust crown, we rise together

Hands locked, the wire won't sever

Rust crown, iron in our chests

One pulse now, no one's guessed

Verse

Your shoulder finds my ribcage, a single beat

Cinder falls soft on the iron street

Your hand stays warm through the cold machine grind

My chest forgets it was ever mine alone

The bass drops out for half a second
