Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Rust on the locker room floor Blood in the lines of my palms Name tag twisted Bent and torn Teeth still stained from the storm [Pre-Chorus] Clock on the wall keeps digging Hands like knives Always spinning Every second says the same thing Break or be broken [Chorus] Cold steel Pressed to my back every day I wake Cold steel Bite down hard till the edges shake If this world’s gonna cut me open I’ll carve my own way through Cold steel I turn that blade on you [Verse 2] Boot prints crushed in the gravel Boot heels crush every doubt You talk big with a hollow rattle I grind that echo out [Pre-Chorus] Weight on my chest keeps climbing Breath comes sharp Silver lining Every scar is a warning Don’t die quiet [Chorus] Cold steel Pressed to my back every day I wake Cold steel Bite down hard till the edges shake If this world’s gonna cut me open I’ll carve my own way through Cold steel I turn that blade on you [Bridge] Face down on the factory floor (get up) Taste dust Taste iron Want more (get up) If pain is all that you deal I cash it in for real [Chorus] Cold steel Pressed to my back every day I wake Cold steel Bite down hard till the edges shake If this world’s gonna cut me open I’ll carve my own way through Cold steel I turn that blade on you

metal, Aggressive modern metalcore: drop-tuned guitars with palm-muted chugs and dissonant slides, blast-beat bursts into halftime stomps, bass grinding under the riffs. Male vocals that flip between caustic screams and melodic hooks in the chorus, gang shouts on key lines. Mix pushes drums and vocal upfront, guitars as a serrated wall around them.
