Iron Skyline Under My Skin (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete towers where the iron sky bends

Frost on my shoulders where the neon blends

Ten thousand strangers but I don't need their names

Every window is a different kind of flame

Steam off the vents like we're breathing fire

Graffiti saints with static in their eyes

I was built for this — the cold and the wire

Nothing here scares me, nothing worth hiding from

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you see when you look out there at us

Tell me who's winning, who's burning up

We're the ones we've been fighting to become

Stand tall under the iron skyline tonight

Chorus

Iron skyline under my skin

Every window is a different kind of win

I don't need their names I don't need their gold

This is where our legends are told

Verse 2

Rooftop snowdrifts and the whole city below

Speakers shaking the glass to its core

Every shadow's a story yet untold

Bare hands against the wind, I'm not cold

The tower don't care who you were back home

It just wants to burn until it turns into gold

I'll take the fall for every dream we built here

None of them ever said you're never gonna disappear

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you see when you look out there at us

Tell me who's winning, who's burning up

We're the ones we've been fighting to become

Stand tall under the iron skyline tonight

Chorus

Iron skyline under my skin

Every window is a different kind of win

I don't need their names I don't need their gold

This is where our legends are told

Bridge

Maybe someday the frost comes back for keeps

Maybe this roofline turns to ice and sleep

But right now the current's strong enough

To burn every doubt into something new

So hold on close to what it feels like this

Every window lit up under my fist

Because tonight we were bigger than the storm

Tonight this whole city turned into gold and form

Chorus

Iron skyline under my skin

Every window is a different kind of win

I don't need their names I don't need their gold

This is where our legends are told
