[Verse 1] ~I~ The tide hit hard at dawn Black water on my hands I saw your name in rust On the doors of this dead land My pulse went thin and sharp Like glass in a riot rain Every wall in that machine Kept my shadow in its veins [Pre-Chorus] But I felt it turn Under my skin The old night cracked And let me in [Chorus] Metal on the walls Grinding into light Metal on the walls I can feel it bite Tides are turning now Pulling me alive Metal on the walls Grinding into light Grinding into light [Verse 2] I walked through static halls With the sparks in my eyes Found my heart in broken loops And a storm in a dress of wire You said I’d fade to gray I said watch me burn clean Now the edge of every wound Is a blade made out of dreams [Pre-Chorus] And I felt it turn Under my skin The old night cracked And let me in [Chorus] Metal on the walls Grinding into light Metal on the walls I can feel it bite Tides are turning now Pulling me alive Metal on the walls Grinding into light [Bridge] If I fall, I fall forward If I break, I break bright Every scar on these cold panels Turns the dark inside out tonight [Final Chorus] Metal on the walls Grinding into light Metal on the walls I can feel it bite Tides are turning now Pulling me alive Metal on the walls Grinding into light Metal on the walls Grinding into light Metal on the walls I’m born tonight
