Weight of the night

Verse 1

Heavy boots on a hollow floor, We don't talk like we did before. The candle gutters, the wax runs thin, Where does the shadow let the dark get in? A slow pulse beating in the bedroom wall, Waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Chorus

And the river runs black under the bridge, Cold teeth biting the mountain ridge. You can pull, you can scream, you can turn out the light, We belong to the weight of the night. Yeah, the weight of the night.

Verse 2

Dust settles deep on the windowsill, The world outside is too damn still. I taste the iron, I feel the strain, A slowburn rhythm in a freezing vein. You trace a circle on the dusty glass, Hoping that the storm will pass.

Chorus

And the river runs black under the bridge, Cold teeth biting the mountain ridge. You can pull, you can scream, you can turn out the light, We belong to the weight of the night. Yeah, the weight of the night.

Bridge

No rescue coming down the track, No turning forward, no turning back. Just the hum of the amp and the floor giving way, Drowning the ghost of a better day. Guitar Solo

Chorus

And the river runs black under the bridge, Cold teeth biting the mountain ridge. You can pull, you can scream, you can turn out the light, We belong to the weight of the night.

Outro

Let it sink. Let it break. Nothing left for the dawn to take. Just the dark. Just the sound. sinking down.
