Iron in My Veins

[Intro]

Ash in my lungs

Teeth full of sand

I taste every wrong

Like blood on my hands

[Verse 1]

Woke up in ruins

Of promises I built

Every cracked foundation

Shining with guilt

You said it'd get quiet

If I swallowed the rage

Now it's carving my ribs

Like bars in a cage

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep counting all the scars I hide

They line up like marching knives inside

[Chorus]

Iron in my veins

Fire in my throat (hey!)

I won't drown again

On the words you wrote

If it hurts

It means

There's something left to save

You will not define

The shape of my grave

[Verse 2]

Face in the mirror

Stranger in my skin

I won't drown again

On the words you wrote

If it hurts

It means

There's something left to save

You will not define

The shape of my grave

Eyes like loaded chambers

Shaking

Giving in

Every broken echo

Calling out my name

But I won't die perfect

Just die unashamed

[Pre-Chorus]

If I'm standing on the edge tonight

I'll choose how I fall

How I fight

[Chorus]

Iron in my veins

Fire in my throat (oh!)

I won't drown again

On the words you wrote

If it hurts

It means

There's something left to save

You will not define

The shape of my grave

[Bridge]

[Beat drops to half-time

Vocals near-spoken then roar]

I am not your silence

I am not your shame (yeah)

I am not the pieces

You left in the flame

Say my name like a warning

Say my name like a curse

Every time you spit it

I come back

Reversed

[Chorus]

Iron in my veins

Fire in my throat

I won't drown again

On the lies you wrote

If it hurts

It means

There's something left to save (left to save)

You will not define

The shape of my grave

[Outro]

Iron in my veins

Heart like a drum

If the world comes crashing

I'll still die

Standing up
