Copper Wire Lungs (Version 2)

Intro

Bleeding copper, steel and air

Pulse keeps moving, we don't care

Lose the name in the dark of the floor

Let it pull you under once more

Chorus

Copper wire lungs, pumping blood through stone

I lose myself where I'm made to go

Every kick is a breath that I've never known

Copper wire lungs, running till I'm gone

Verse 1

Sweat on the rail, smoke in my eyes

The low end's humming like it knows my name

Iron heartbeat where the floor meets the spine

I let go of holding onto who I am

Concrete breathes hard against my ear

Every drop is a pulse that's not mine here

Pre-Chorus

Floor's taking hold, let it pull you down

Every kick makes something break loose in town

Let the iron speak for me tonight

Copper wire lungs are burning bright

Chorus

Copper wire lungs, pumping blood through stone

I lose myself where I'm made to go

Every kick is a breath that I've never known

Copper wire lungs, running till I'm gone

Verse 2

Metal on metal, the hum won't subside

I don't have hands in this space where we hide

Strobe cuts thin through the dark and the heat

Nothing left of what was holding my feet

Bare skin against the cold black steel frame

Every kick is a name that I've erased from my brain

Pre-Chorus

Floor's taking hold, let it pull you down

Every kick makes something break loose in town

Let the iron speak for me tonight

Copper wire lungs are burning bright

Chorus

Copper wire lungs, pumping blood through stone

I lose myself where I'm made to go

Every kick is a breath that I've never known

Copper wire lungs, running till I'm gone

Bridge

Iron's breathing for me now and then

Not my hands anymore but the hum in skin

Lose every edge in this dark place we share

Let the low end be the one thing I declare

I exist as copper where the floor takes hold

No breath to give when the kick is gone

Just iron counting what it's done

Chorus

Copper wire lungs, pumping blood through stone

I lose myself where I'm made to go

Every kick is a breath that I've never known

Copper wire lungs, running till I'm gone

Outro

Bleeding copper, steel and air

Let it pull you under once more

Copper wire lungs

Pumping blood through stone
