Verse]
The concrete edge is cold beneath my palms
While traffic snakes along the grid below
The iron rusts in silence where I stand
A hollow grey is all the clouds can show
The city lights are blurred like spilled ink
Across the heavy velvet of the air
I lean into the void and try to think
But find a vacant stillness dwelling there
[Pre-Chorus]
The hum of wires is pulling at my chest
A low vibration crawling through the bone
The metal wind won't let the shadows rest
Upon this jagged height I claim alone
[Chorus]
This heavy ache is sinking through the floor
A weight that gravity can never hold
I’m searching for the key to every door
Before the midnight turns the copper gold
The sky is thick with all I failed to say
A muffled roar that swallows up the street
I watch the fading colors drift away
Until the dark and distance finally meet
[Chorus]
This heavy ache is sinking through the floor
A weight that gravity can never hold
I’m searching for the key to every door
Before the midnight turns the copper gold
The sky is thick with all I failed to say
A muffled roar that swallows up the street
I watch the fading colors drift away
Until the dark and distance finally meet
[Verse]
A distant siren wails against the brick
It sharpens every edge inside my head
The clockwork of the world is feeling thick
With all the bitter truths I should have read
I trace the railing with a trembling hand
The soot is staining every line of fate
It’s hard to see the logic of the land
When standing at the threshold of the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
The hum of wires is pulling at my chest
A low vibration crawling through the bone
The metal wind won't let the shadows rest
Upon this jagged height I claim alone
[Chorus]
This heavy ache is sinking through the floor
A weight that gravity can never hold
I’m searching for the key to every door
Before the midnight turns the copper gold
The sky is thick with all I failed to say
A muffled roar that swallows up the street
I watch the fading colors drift away
Until the dark and distance finally meet
[Chorus]
This heavy ache is sinking through the floor
A weight that gravity can never hold
I’m searching for the key to every door
Before the midnight turns the copper gold
The sky is thick with all I failed to say
A muffled roar that swallows up the street
I watch the fading colors drift away
Until the dark and distance finally meet
[Outro]
