Beneath the Iron Tide 5

Verse

Grey water rising where the pillars stand

Salt on my tongue and a hand in the sand

I walked out through the iron gate at dawn

Left everything that I was born to own

No name to carry when the current turns

Nothing heavier than this burning burn

The tide is pulling, it won't let go

Down into the dark where only echoes grow

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight but do not cling

This is not a lesson, this is everything

Let go of every name and face

The iron tide will take me to my place

Falling down through the blackening blue

Nothing broken, nothing lost in you

I was heavy with what I used to be

Now I'm nothing heavier than the sea

Chorus

Beneath the iron tide I dissolve

Dissolve into the water below

Every anchor that I once knew

Dropping down through the dark and the blue

Let go of everything that pulls you back

This is where the current will take me back

I am nothing but a wave, nothing more

Drifting out on an endless shore

Verse

The city's far behind a wall of steam

Just the pulse of water against my skin

No weight to carry when the tide comes in

Nothing left that I would call my own again

Every name and face dissolves like foam

Every heartbeat slows into the room

I walked out naked, I walk back free

This is how the ocean sets me

Underneath a sky turned silver grey

Down through currents that nobody can say

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight but do not cling

This is not a lesson, this is everything

Let go of every name and face

The iron tide will take me to my place

Falling down through the blackening blue

Nothing broken, nothing lost in you

I was heavy with what I used to be

Now I'm nothing heavier than the sea

Chorus

Beneath the iron tide I dissolve

Dissolve into the water below

Every anchor that I once knew

Dropping down through the dark and the blue

Let go of everything that pulls you back

This is where the current will take me back

I am nothing but a wave, nothing more

Drifting out on an endless shore

Bridge

No crown to carry when the salt runs deep

Nothing left to prove in what I keep

Just the pull of water through my veins

Nothing broken, only open plains

This is how we learn to disappear

To float without a name or fear

Let go and trust that nothing sinks

Beneath the iron tide I blink

Chorus

Beneath the iron tide I dissolve

Dissolve into the water below

Every anchor that I once knew

Dropping down through the dark and the blue

Let go of everything that pulls you back

This is where the current will take me back

I am nothing but a wave, nothing more

Drifting out on an endless shore
