Skin to Steel (Version 2)

Verse 1

Cold streets breathing under every heel

Your eyes cut through the amber streetlight veil

Ten thousand hands are reaching for the sound

We're chasing something we can't hold down

The concrete's shaking like a second heart

Every pulse is pulling us apart from smart

Strangers turning into one, same flame

Nobody's talking but everyone knows my name

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your chest?

This is where the whole room forgets to rest.

Let go of whatever was holding you down.

This is what we've been waiting for now

Chorus

Rise up, rise up!

Skin to steel and skin to sky.

We don't need a reason, we just let it fly.

Hands up in the amber glow until the break of light!

Verse 2

Pipes are sweating on the rooftops wide

Streetlights dying like the night can't hide

Every face in this crowd wears the same scar

This is how you learn to lose yourself from who you were

Your hand finds mine, no words need translation.

We're not running from the dark tonight's persuasion.

The whole block is burning but we're already gone.

This pulse won't let us down until it's over and done

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your chest?

This is where the whole room forgets to rest.

Let go of whatever was holding you down.

This is what we've been waiting for now

Chorus

Rise up, rise up!

Skin to steel and skin to sky.

We don't need a reason, we just let it fly.

Hands up in the amber glow until the break of light!

Bridge

Not your name, not your face tonight.

Just this heartbeat, nothing else but white.

No past behind us, no future to chase.

This is how we erase the weight from our skin and space

Chorus

Rise up, rise up!

Skin to steel and skin to sky.

We don't need a reason, we just let it fly.

Hands up in the amber glow until the break of light!
