9. Iron Veins

[Verse 1] Skin to static, lips to wire You burn the truth in a funeral fire My shadow grins while I pretend To be the wound that will not mend Rust and rhythm in my spine A whisper soft, “You are not mine” Truth is chained in velvet lies But I still smile with serpent eyes [Pre-Chorus] Did you come to break me? Or just press play? Electric confession In your cruel ballet [Chorus] Tethered to your chaos code Sacred sin in overload Iron veins, a godless pulse Dance me back into the cult [Verse 2] We play at war with paper swords Lick the wounds and count rewards She said, “You’re more beast than man” I said, “That’s always been the plan” [Bridge] Put your blood on the altar I’ll put my name in your mouth And when the silence gets louder We’ll let the noise bleed out [Chorus] Tethered to your chaos code Sacred sin in overload Iron veins, a godless pulse Dance me back into the cult [Outro – Spoken] It’s not love It’s just      a loop          in the system            that feels like              redemption
