Verse 1
Heavy steel door clicks behind
Cold air cuts into the mind
Steam is curling off my skin
Where the pavement wears so thin
Ears are humming in the chill
Ten-ton kick drum standing still
Pre-Chorus
Sodium amber turns to blue
Sharp light cutting straight on through
Open sky above the wire
Cooling down the basement fire
Chorus
Let the grid bleed into light
Take the fever from the night
Steel and gravel, pale and cold
Nothing left of what we hold
Let the grid bleed into light
Verse 2
Taxis crawling down the lane
Breath against the windowpane
Pupils wide against the dawn
Music stops but carries on
Damp wool heavy on my back
Footsteps hollow on the track
Pre-Chorus
Sodium amber turns to blue
Sharp light cutting straight on through
Open sky above the wire
Cooling down the basement fire
Chorus
Let the grid bleed into light
Take the fever from the night
Steel and gravel, pale and cold
Nothing left of what we hold
Let the grid bleed into light
Bridge
No more strobes and no more smoke
Just the quiet when it broke
Feel the low end drain away
Iron towers turning grey
Let the morning split the seam
Waking up inside the dream
Chorus
Let the grid bleed into light
Take the fever from the night
Steel and gravel, pale and cold
Nothing left of what we hold
Let the grid bleed into light
