Midnight Bell

[Chorus] Veins pop on my forearm Bassline breathes my deep exhale Every jab, a new storm Against the ropes, I will not fail Leather sweats, the bag it swings Midnight bell, the echo sings [Verse] Four AM, the gym's alive Dim lights on the dusty floor My sparring partner took a dive Broke my nose, I want some more Cracked reflection in the frame Just a ghost, whispering my name [Pre-Chorus] Jabs and crosses, broken rhythm My knuckles ache, a dull deep thrum Fighting shadows, I can't stay with them Till the morning light has come [Chorus] Veins pop on my forearm Bassline breathes my deep exhale Every jab, a new storm Against the ropes, I will not fail Leather sweats, the bag it swings Midnight bell, the echo sings [Bridge] Tap, tap, drip, the faucet cries Sounds like heels on polished wood My shattered bones, a grim surprise Smash the target, misunderstood Three broken digits, a heavy blow Where the shadows come and go [Verse] Down to the second string, they say Lost my spot, I lost my way But this pain, it makes me stay Fighting harder every day Sweat stings like a salty tear Conquering my deepest fear [Chorus] Veins pop on my forearm Bassline breathes my deep exhale Every jab, a new storm Against the ropes, I will not fail Leather sweats, the bag it swings Midnight bell, the echo sings [Outro]
