Iron Floor Repeats 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Bass hits through the ribs, a heavy weight in my chest

Sweat on steel floor where I stand, no time to rest

My pulse finds the same cadence as four hundred drums

Same cold light cuts across us all, same endless hum

Fingers locked into the rail like it's made of bone

Every kick drives me forward till the walls turn gold and gone

Chorus

Iron floor repeats what iron floor knows

Kick drum counting out the years we've lost

No name in this machine room, only feet on steel

Iron floor repeats what iron floor sees

Verse 2

Clank of chains through the low end where we take our stand

Same dark air we breathe and exhale till it's gone

Lights cut down like a knife, not to show us sight but hide

Nothing here but the engine that never asks why

Hands on cold metal, breath locked in the same strain

Every kick turns back the hands of every clock we've claimed

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rise up through your chest?

Same as I do. Same. Let go.

Here's where time folds into the drive.

Give me the weight of four hundred drums, alive

Chorus

Iron floor repeats what iron floor knows

Kick drum counting out the years we've lost

No name in this machine room, only feet on steel

Iron floor repeats what iron floor sees

Bridge

Not time. Not time at all.

Just these drums and I till nothing's left of me again

Take the clock back for a minute and give it to the floor.

I don't need an answer when the beat does this much more

Chorus

Iron floor repeats what iron floor knows

Kick drum counting out the years we've lost

No name in this machine room, only feet on steel

Iron floor repeats what iron floor sees
