Steel and Soil

[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, kick drum and hi-hat enter] [3D SOUNDSTAGE] [Verse 1] I followed your fluorescent lies Down hallways white and wide Something small inside me died Something small inside me died [Verse 2] You sold me steel when I was built for soil You sold me steel when I was built for soil Promised bright and brought me barren Promised bright and brought me barren The fruit I could have fed Fell from branches in my head [Chorus] You sold me steel I was built for soil You sold me steel I was built for soil Cold and clean and sterile Cold and clean and sterile [Verse 3] Your voice was sweet and sure Said strength was standing straight In rooms with no windows In rooms with no windows My roots began to break My roots began to break [Chorus] You sold me steel I was built for soil You sold me steel I was built for soil Cold and clean and sterile Cold and clean and sterile [Bridge] The light you led me toward Was fluorescent, false, and hard The light you led me toward Left me barren, broke, and scarred I'm brittle now I'm brittle now Just brittle now [Final Chorus] You sold me steel I was built for soil You sold me steel I was built for soil Empty, bright, and sterile Empty, bright, and sterile [Outro] Something small inside me died Something small inside me died
