[Intro] [mechanical drum machine starts Bassline enters] Footsteps in the stairwell Cold air in my lungs Your name on the plaster Scraped out by my tongue [Verse 1] You burned all the pages Left ash in the sink You said you were leaving I watched the paint blink I counted the seconds Till silence turned red Your shadow kept walking Long after you fled [Chorus] Karma Walks in steel-soled boots Tracks you down By the stains on your boots You can change your coat You can change your name But karma Always knows your weight And it hits the same [Verse 2] You talk like a prophet Cheap wine on your breath Your eyes full of futures You sold out to death You kiss in the doorway Then cut at the seam You pray in the mirror But crack when you dream [Chorus] Karma Walks in steel-soled boots Tracks you down By the stains on your boots You can change your coat You can change your name But karma Always knows your weight And it hits the same [Bridge] Every vow you broke Glows blue on your skin (oh) Every quiet joke Carved deep Written in You say you were young You say you were scared But the floorboards remember Every time you were there [Chorus] Karma Walks in steel-soled boots Tracks you down By the stains on your boots You can change your coat You can change your name But karma Always knows your weight And it hits the same [Outro] [drums and bass alone Guitars in distant swells] Karma Karma Breathing down your neck Step for step Breath for breath Karma Never forgets Never forgets
