Carved from Chrome and Bone

Intro

(ah-ah) feel the crack, feel the crack

(uh) breath on the edge, breathe in, breathe out

(hey) we rise to break it down

Verse

I built a tower from brittle lies, hands callused from the climb

Every stair a mirror cut, reflecting fracture in time

Screams under the floorboards, quiet like a planned collapse

I wear the weight like scripture, read the lines and then I snap

Tearing seams with a sharpened grin, the blueprint burns away

You sold me gilded promises, I swallowed rust today

Now the corridors are hollow, and the air tastes like regret

I will not kneel to silence — not yet, not yet

Pre-chorus

Pull the tether, watch it snap (watch it)

Hear the metal sing and sag (sing and sag)

Run the wire through my veins (run it)

Turn the fear into a blade (turn it)

Chorus

We will rise and we will bleed (we will)

We will call the fractures home (call it)

Hold the wound and let it breathe (let it)

We are carved from chrome and bone

We will rise and we will fight (we will)

We will scream until it's known (known)

Light the dark with raw design — oh-oh

We are carved from chrome and bone

Verse

Teeth on the rim of a rusted crown, heartbeat banging on the drum

Fingers digging for the truth in the rubble where we come undone

Maps burned into the palms of saints who never learned to fall

I count the cost, I call the names, I am the one who breaks the walls

Shatter lines and silver plates, spill the ledger on the floor

Every promise is a ledger, every ledger is a war

I taste the iron of your vows; I spit the ash into the wind

There is a noise beneath the quiet — take a breath and let it begin

Pre-chorus

Pull the tether, watch it snap (let it snap)

Hear the metal sing and sag (sing and sag)

Run the wire through my veins (run it)

Turn the fear into a blade (turn it)

Chorus

We will rise and we will bleed (we will)

We will call the fractures home (call it)

Hold the wound and let it breathe (let it)

We are carved from chrome and bone

We will rise and we will fight (we will)

We will scream until it's known (known)

Light the dark with raw design — oh-oh

We are carved from chrome and bone

Bridge

(wham) Break it, break it — ka-thud, ka-thud

(crush) Roll the thunder in your palms (roll it)

Skree, the siren — rip the calm

Down the scale, down the spine (down, down)

Grip the fault, make it mine

(uh) Stop — hold that beat, feel the fracture

(hey) Count the breaths between the cracks

(ah-ah) Nail the cadence to the ground

Let the machine collapse, let the machine collapse

(smash) CRUSH-CRUSH, cut the line — CRUSH-CRUSH

(break) TEAR-TEAR, split the spine — TEAR-TEAR

(grind) REND-REND, fall in time — REND-REND

(burn) BREATHE-BREATHE, into the grind — BREATHE-BREATHE

Chorus

We will rise and we will bleed (we will)

We will call the fractures home (call it)

Hold the wound and let it breathe (let it)

We are carved from chrome and bone

We will rise
