Iron Meridian (Version 5)

Verse 1

Concrete in the dark, cold on the spine

Sub-bass humming on a laser line

Pulse at one-thirty-eight in the chest

Locked in the pattern, forget the rest

Ribcage rattling against the steel

Can't feel the room, only what is real

Pre-Chorus

Pressure rising till the breath cuts out

Swallow the static, swallow the doubt

Hands go high in the freezing air

Nothing to lose when there's nothing there

Chorus

Over the iron meridian

No weight left in the skeleton

White light breaking across the skin

Let it go, let it all give in

Over the iron meridian

Verse 2

Dry ice drifting on a sea of chrome

Strobe flash stuttering, no way home

Sweat turns electric, the floor goes slack

Gone too far and there's no way back

Every stranger with the same wide stare

Drinking the rhythm out of thin air

Pre-Chorus

Pressure rising till the breath cuts out

Swallow the static, swallow the doubt

Hands go high in the freezing air

Nothing to lose when there's nothing there

Chorus

Over the iron meridian

No weight left in the skeleton

White light breaking across the skin

Let it go, let it all give in

Over the iron meridian

Bridge

Cut the cables, drop the stone

Cold iron turned into hollow bone

One pure frequency, clean and blind

Leave every shadow of the world behind

Chorus

Over the iron meridian

No weight left in the skeleton

White light breaking across the skin

Let it go, let it all give in

Over the iron meridian
