Chase the Ivory Horizon (Version 2)

Verse

Grey light bleeds into the street

Cold iron shadows meet

Four a.m. on concrete feet

Bassline crawling up my chest

Every window turned to glass

I see our footprints past

Pavement cold beneath my palms

Rust and smoke, the whole town's hands

Falling off into this grey dawn

Pre-Chorus

So what do we chase tonight?

Skyline fading in the light

Hold onto me, hold on tight

We're running out of black

Chorus

Chase the ivory horizon

Hands up through the smoke and cold

Let it break our borders

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hold

Rise above this iron sky

Watch the sun come tearing by

Everything that held us down is dying

And we're flying into morning light

Verse 2

Streetlights flicker out one by one

Salt in my throat and chrome dust on my tongue

Your hand finds mine among the crowd

Losing shadows, losing sound

Glass towers start to glow

Copper sky behind the towers below

No more shadows left to hide

Just you and me against the tide

Pre-Chorus

So what do we chase tonight?

Skyline fading in the light

Hold onto me, hold on tight

We're running out of black

Chorus

Chase the ivory horizon

Hands up through the smoke and cold

Let it break our borders

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hold

Rise above this iron sky

Watch the sun come tearing by

Everything that held us down is dying

And we're flying into morning light

Bridge

Iron turns to amber heat

Your hand still warm against my chest

The whole block falling silent now

Every door that locked at dusk

Turns open, breathes its gold on us

No more shadows left to hide

Just the sky and just our stride

Let it break our borders

Nothing left to lose

Chorus

Chase the ivory horizon

Hands up through the smoke and cold

Let it break our borders

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to hold

Rise above this iron sky

Watch the sun come tearing by

Everything that held us down is dying

And we're flying into morning light
