Steel Won't Sleep lyrics

Verse

Your shoulder finds my shoulder first

Strobe cuts white through the black rehearsed

Hundred bodies, one machine

You're the only one I've seen

Pre-Chorus

Hand goes up and yours meets mine

Static jumping down the line

Floor tilts hard on the bassline drop

Steel won't sleep and neither stops

Chorus

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Keep the pulse, don't break the loop

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Verse

Smoke rolls low between our feet

Your eyes lock on every beat

Nine hundred strangers fade to grey

You're the signal, clear and stay

Pre-Chorus

Hand goes up and yours meets mine

Static jumping down the line

Floor tilts hard on the bassline drop

Steel won't sleep and neither stops

Chorus

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Keep the pulse, don't break the loop

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Bridge

Forget the door, forget the clock

This room remembers every shock

Your palm on mine, the current stays

We're the last light in the maze

Chorus

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up

Keep the pulse, don't break the loop

Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
