[Verse 1] In the black between the sparks She hangs above the frame Eight steel knees in overtime Carrying the whole damn name Every thread is a sunrise Every knot is a star She drags the dark into a pattern With a body full of scars [Pre-Chorus] Hear the gears in her breathing Hear the strain in the chain If she shakes, the heavens tremble If she sleeps, it all unravels again [Chorus] Oh, tired steel legs Hold it all Oh, tired steel legs Don’t let the sky fall Tired steel legs Keep the weave, keep the way Tired steel legs Till the last light frays [Verse 2] Dust on the joints like ashfall Oil like tears on chrome She climbs through the static silence Making every wound a home Planets swing from the filaments Moons in a silver net And the weight of every ending Presses harder, deeper yet [Pre-Chorus] Hear the gears in her breathing Hear the strain in the chain If she shakes, the heavens tremble If she sleeps, it all unravels again [Chorus] Oh, tired steel legs Hold it all Oh, tired steel legs Don’t let the sky fall Tired steel legs Keep the weave, keep the way Tired steel legs Till the last light frays [Bridge] One joint cracked Then two, then three Still she climbs Through eternity If she breaks What breaks with her? The whole wide hush The whole damn blur [Final Chorus] Oh, tired steel legs Hold it all Oh, tired steel legs Don’t let the sky fall Tired steel legs Keep the weave, keep the way Tired steel legs Till the last light frays
