Bones on Iron (Version 2)

Intro

Iron holds the line

Verse

Grey dust settling where the iron meets the floor

Cold breath coming out of the vent in the wall

Blood runs slow while the motor ticks on one

Nobody's watching when the dawn comes undone

Pre-Chorus

Held too long, my bones forget the sun

Every joint locked to the one that never ends

Hands up against the cold steel frame

Counting down the last five seconds of my name

Chorus

Bones on iron, hearts in chains

Waking up into the break of dawn's rain

No face left when the room turns white

Just the iron holding what I was tonight

Verse 2

Floor tiles cold beneath a thousand feet

Sweat gone dry before it hits the street

Last kick drum fading soft and low

Skin remembers long after the light has to go

Pre-Chorus

Held too long, my bones forget the sun

Every joint locked to the one that never ends

Hands up against the cold steel frame

Counting down the last five seconds of my name

Chorus

Bones on iron, hearts in chains

Waking up into the break of dawn's rain

No face left when the room turns white

Just the iron holding what I was tonight

Bridge

Rust never sleeps and neither do we

Same four walls, a thousand years ago

Steel forgets but the marrow keeps the code

Iron remembers where my soul went home

Chorus

Bones on iron, hearts in chains

Waking up into the break of dawn's rain

No face left when the room turns white

Just the iron holding what I was tonight
