Iron Pressure

Drop

Machine jaw

Deep raw

Verse 1

Lead heavy floor

Concrete grins under my boots

Screws twisting tight

Friction heating the oil in the basin

Maybe I sink

Maybe I rust

Copper breath on the cooling vents

Scattered chips

Fractured circuits

Burned wires in a bundle

Chorus

Pressure build

Pressure build

Crushing the valve

Turning the gear

Grinding the salt in the iron gear

Pressure build

Pressure build

Drop

Machine jaw

Deep raw

Static air

Dead flare

Verse 2

Black liquid spill

Seeping through the cracked metal wall

Drip

Stop

Wait

Pulse jumping in the hollow conduit

Hard angles cutting

Serrated teeth dragging

Steel dragging on steel

Solder melting

No heat in the ghost box

Piston push

Lever pull

Cycle ends before the spark flies

Chorus

Pressure build

Pressure build

Crushing the valve

Turning the gear

Grinding the salt in the iron gear

Pressure build

Pressure build

Drop

Deep raw

Deep raw

Heavy jaw

Machine flaw

Bridge

Under the grate

Behind the screen

Inside the vault

We tighten the belt

We watch the leak

We feel the surge

Outro

Friction

Friction

The clock stalls

Friction

Cold metal

System fail
