Iron Crown 40

Verse

Cold steel press the crown onto my scalp

Every face a mirror, nobody's left whole

Hands reach up like branches in the dark

Same four walls but the air is walking back

Bones remember what the mind forgot

Hundred hearts beating on the same clock

Pre-Chorus

Something older than our names is rising through

Iron holds what the skin can't hold true

Can you feel it climbing up your spine

This is where the tide runs backwards in time

Chorus

I wear the crown, I carry the weight

Every heartbeat makes the iron wait

We are one pulse beneath the floor

Same steel heart, we walk out of it again for more

Verse

Sweat turns to rain on a ceiling painted gray

Strangers move like blood through an artery

Hands still reaching where the current don't flow

Crown holds tight but the crown was made to go

I feel it spreading from my temple down

Nothing taken that I wasn't already found

Pre-Chorus

Something older than our names is rising through

Iron holds what the skin can't hold true

Can you feel it climbing up your spine

This is where the tide runs backwards in time

Chorus

I wear the crown, I carry the weight

Every heartbeat makes the iron wait

We are one pulse beneath the floor

Same steel heart, we walk out of it again for more

Bridge

Not mine now

It was never mine to hold

The room just opened up and let it in

This is how a city remembers what it's lost

Chorus

I wear the crown, I carry the weight

Every heartbeat makes the iron wait

We are one pulse beneath the floor

Same steel heart, we walk out of it again for more
