The Iron Crown 9

Verse

Steel teeth grip where the crown sits low

Black dust settling on my collarbone

The tide pulls in at a hundred feet deep

Every weight is heavier now than asleep

Pre-Chorus

Rope burns under skin I couldn't hide

Sweat runs cold down either side of the jawline

Floor shakes out when the kick drum lands

I am anchored to nothing that stands

Chorus

Wearing iron, breathing steel and smoke

Nothing left but what the body spoke

Push it deeper till the crown comes loose

Let the current drag me through the juice

Verse 2

Chain links rattle like a thousand tiny drums

Salt is drying where my pulse should hum

Hands go numb before they touch the wall

I keep pulling, let the iron fall

Pre-Chorus

Rope burns under skin I couldn't hide

Sweat runs cold down either side of the jawline

Floor shakes out when the kick drum lands

I am anchored to nothing that stands

Chorus

Wearing iron, breathing steel and smoke

Nothing left but what the body spoke

Push it deeper till the crown comes loose

Let the current drag me through the juice

Bridge

No weight left in my hands tonight

Just water pulling at the light

Every bar I broke gets buried down

This is the only sound this town makes now

Outro

Wearing iron, breathing steel and smoke

Push it deeper till the crown comes loose
