[Intro] [distorted electric guitar chugging, drum fill] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, driving drums] Static on the street lamp flickering again Feather bill is holding breath counting up to ten The pavement's cooled, the humidity is dead Just the phantom echoes ringing in my head They think it's over, they think the threat is gone But the wires are humming right before the dawn [Chorus] [full band, open power chords] It's the pulse beneath the grid, the rhythm in the dark Waiting for the silence to ignite the spark We're walking on the tightrope, listen for the sound Of something sharp and heavy hitting on the ground Yeah, it's coming back around [Verse 2] [staccato guitar riff, bass-heavy mix] The blinds are shuttered tight, the glass is cold and clear Tracing out the map of all the lingering fear We don't need the hero to know the storm is near It's written in the shadows that appear Every single alleyway is holding on to breath Dancing on the edge of a temporary death [Chorus] [distorted guitars, aggressive vocals] It's the pulse beneath the grid, the rhythm in the dark Waiting for the silence to ignite the spark We're walking on the tightrope, listen for the sound Of something sharp and heavy hitting on the ground Yeah, it's coming back around [Bridge] [half-time feel, sustained guitar chords] Don't tell me that it's over Don't tell me that it's done [tempo accelerates, double-kick drums] We're staring down the barrel Of a setting sun [vocal fry scream] [Outro] [heavy rhythmic breakdown] The city waits The city breaks The city knows It's coming back around [final guitar feedback swell]
