Cadenza Cold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Keys on the marble, shoe tips clean. I came up loud, but I move like a king. White gloves, dark coat, cold in the room. One wrong note, I can ruin your tune. Violin crying, but it backs my stride. Cello in my chest, keeps the low end wide. They talk that talk, then they fade like dust. I write my name where the old heads trust. [Pre-Chorus] Hold that breath, count to three. Watch me step in, set it free. From the hush to the hit, from the page to the pit. I been built for this, I don't miss. [Chorus] Cold keys, hot hands (cold keys) I walk in like a storm Cold keys, hot hands (hot hands) Make the whole room lean and warm Say my name, let it ring Say my name, let it sing Cold keys, hot hands I make the old world swing [Verse 2] I got ink on my sleeve, and fire in my grin. Every bar I deliver got a blade in the spin. Piano taps sharp, like a gavel on beat. Violins lift high when I stomp through the street. Cello underfoot, like a pulse in the floor. I don't chase applause, I arrive and it's yours. If you want grace, I got scars with it too. If you want noise, I can sharpen the room. [Pre-Chorus] Hold that breath, count to three. Watch me step in, set it free. From the hush to the hit, from the page to the pit. I been built for this, I don't miss. [Chorus] Cold keys, hot hands (cold keys) I walk in like a storm Cold keys, hot hands (hot hands) Make the whole room lean and warm Say my name, let it ring Say my name, let it sing Cold keys, hot hands I make the old world swing [Bridge] [Half-time] No crown, no pity, just work and nerve. Every wound got rhythm, every loss got worth. Hear that lone piano, then the strings come down. I don't break for the palace, I take the whole sound. [Chorus] Cold keys, hot hands (cold keys) I walk in like a storm Cold keys, hot hands (hot hands) Make the whole room lean and warm Say my name, let it ring Say my name, let it sing Cold keys, hot hands I make the old world swing
