The Iron Boundary

[Intro]
[Verse]
Concrete cracks and engine oil
Blood and sweat inside the soil
I kept the secrets of the street
The bitter taste of every defeat
We swore we'd never bend
Until we hit the dead end
[Pre-Chorus]
The engine's humming low
Nowhere left for us to go
I’m looking in the glass
Watching my old shadow pass
[Chorus]
I’m breaking every rule I made
Leaving ghosts in the shade
It feels like flying, feels like falling
I hear the open distance calling
I’m not the boy who fought the rain
I’m walking out of all the pain
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go
Let it go
I finally know
[Break]
[Verse]
The diner lights are flickering
The old men keep on bickering
About the glory days we lost
Ignoring what the survival cost
I used to think that grit was all
To keep me standing six feet tall
[Pre-Chorus]
But the armor’s getting thin
I can’t let the cold back in
I’m staring at the gate
Deciding on a different fate
[Chorus]
I’m breaking every rule I made
Leaving ghosts in the shade
It feels like flying, feels like falling
I hear the open distance calling
I’m not the boy who fought the rain
I’m walking out of all the pain
[Bridge]
Defiance was a heavy shield
To keep the broken parts concealed
But now the metal’s stripped away
I’ve got nothing left to say
It’s terrifying to be free
From the man I used to be
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I’m breaking every rule I made
Leaving ghosts in the shade
It feels like flying, feels like falling
I hear the open distance calling
I’m not the boy who fought the rain
I’m walking out of all the pain
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go
Let it go
I finally know
[Breakdown]
No more walls
No more halls
The mountain calls
[Chorus]
I’m breaking every rule I made
Leaving ghosts in the shade
It feels like flying, feels like falling
I hear the open distance calling
I’m not the boy who fought the rain
I’m walking out of all the pain
[Outro]
