Bones Remember the Rhythm (النسخة 2)

Verse

Concrete floor over old red clay

Feet find a pulse from a hundred years away

My spine remembers before my mind can try

Marrow keeps time when the drum goes by

Knees bend low like the ones before me

Dust on my ankles, the floor telling stories

Nobody taught me this turn, this sway

It lives in my hips, it never went away

Pre-Chorus

Something older than my own two hands

Wakes up slow, then it understands

Every joint in me starts to hum

Bones remember where the rhythm's from

Chorus

Bones remember the rhythm

Skin just carries the sound

Bones remember the rhythm

Long after we're gone from this ground

Bones remember the rhythm

Verse

Warehouse walls where the water pipes hiss

Elbows, shoulders moving like this

My grandmother's laugh in my own throat

Marrow humming a borrowed note

Sweat on the collarbone, salt on the tongue

The body keeps singing what the mouth left unsung

Every rib cage holding a hidden drum

Waiting for midnight, waiting to come

Pre-Chorus

Something older than my own two hands

Wakes up slow, then it understands

Every joint in me starts to hum

Bones remember where the rhythm's from

Chorus

Bones remember the rhythm

Skin just carries the sound

Bones remember the rhythm

Long after we're gone from this ground

Bones remember the rhythm

Bridge

Long after the amps go quiet

Long after the last light dims

Something stays inside the marrow

Passing on, passing on through skin

I feel it move from my mother's mother

Down through me to whoever's next

Nobody taught this, nobody wrote this

It just lives in the flesh

Chorus

Bones remember the rhythm

Skin just carries the sound

Bones remember the rhythm

Long after we're gone from this ground

Bones remember the rhythm
