Steel on my tongue（版本 2）

Verse

Iron breath in the concrete core

Steel on my tongue, I swallow more

Copper wire across my spine

City pulse locked to the beat line

Sweat runs cold down a stranger's neck

I trade it for the energy debt

Grey walls folding into gold

Every cell remembers what is old

Pre-Chorus

Blood stops counting when the current runs deep

The body forgets itself, forgets the sleep

Chorus

Steel in my veins where the rivers run dry

This is the current I was made to buy

Hands up like a signal into white light

Steel on my tongue, steel on my tongue tonight

Verse

Traffic lights dissolve to strobes and glass

Every face is just a shadow past

I lose the name before it hits my ears

Only static moving through the years

Sparks on the ceiling where the ceiling used to be

City breathes as loud as any sea

Palm open wide, let the voltage land

Bones go quiet, I understand

Pre-Chorus

Blood stops counting when the current runs deep

The body forgets itself, forgets the sleep

Chorus

Steel in my veins where the rivers run dry

This is the current I was made to buy

Hands up like a signal into white light

Steel on my tongue, steel on my tongue tonight

Bridge

Not the crowd, not the sound

It's the marrow turning to gold under the ground

Every wire carries what it's been fed

This is the fire that the city needs

Chorus

Steel in my veins where the rivers run dry

This is the current I was made to buy

Hands up like a signal into white light

Steel on my tongue, steel on my tongue tonight
