Verse 1
Heavy iron, push the bar
Cold exhaust around the car
Sweat dries stiff against my throat
Gravel biting through my coat
Ear drums hum with dying low
Tarmac slick with amber glow
Rhythm locked inside the tread
Pale sun creeping overhead
Pre-Chorus
Blinding sky
White and raw
Iron teeth
Freezing jaw
Watch it break
Breathe it in
Chorus
Oxide loop, rust and wire
Cold horizon catching fire
Oxide loop, steel and gray
Basement opens to the day
Verse 2
Amber streetlights flicker out
Quiet rising from the doubt
Steam rolls off the sewer grate
Morning strikes the iron plate
Shadows stretch across the curb
Pulse that nothing can disturb
Keep the kick drum in the chest
No one asking for the rest
Pre-Chorus
Blinding sky
White and raw
Iron teeth
Freezing jaw
Watch it break
Breathe it in
Chorus
Oxide loop, rust and wire
Cold horizon catching fire
Oxide loop, steel and gray
Basement opens to the day
Bridge
Silver film on every hood
Standing where the speakers stood
Leave the dark behind the glass
Watch the yellow transit pass
Lock the pulse inside the skin
Daylight pulls the shutters in
Chorus
Oxide loop, rust and wire
Cold horizon catching fire
Oxide loop, steel and gray
Basement opens to the day
