Steel Skin Legacy (Version 2)

Verse

Pipes still warm from the last raid we won

Bones remember what the fire never runs

The city screams but I don't hear it break

Steel skin holding something old the road can't take

Every rivet's a name I learned to wear

Rust on my collarbone says where I've been and where

My palms are scarred from pulling the wheel straight through storming walls

This body's just a legend waiting for a name

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it calling me back home

Every heartbeat is a key turned low

Chorus

I am the steel they used to build this town

I hold the weight that made these streets renowned

The current runs through every rivet and plate

I'm the skin the city wears but I ain't late

Verse 2

Now the young ones laugh where we once held rank

Say it's easy, easy, like the road just bends

But a wall remembers more than walls can see

Every dent's a name they never learn to read

The current hums beneath their feet now too

Racing up through cables straight from me to you

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it calling me back home

Every heartbeat is a key turned low

Chorus

I am the steel they used to build this town

I hold the weight that made these streets renowned

The current runs through every rivet and plate

I'm the skin the city wears but I ain't late

Bridge

Not their future, not my own tonight

Just the current holding all of it in place like light

We are one long heartbeat running through the gate

Every hand that touches this floor still carries what the old ones made

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it calling me back home

Every heartbeat is a key turned low

Chorus

I am the steel they used to build this town

I hold the weight that made these streets renowned

The current runs through every rivet and plate

I'm the skin the city wears but I ain't late
