Gold Beneath the Skin (النسخة 2)

Verse

Shaft door rusted shut for good

Turned this yard into a floor

Grandmother's ring still on my hand

Heavier now than before

Sweat runs down like liquid ore

Speakers humming through the wall

Every hip that moves tonight

Digging deeper than the fall

Pre-Chorus

Feel the seam under my ribs

Feel the vein start to hum

Something buried wakes up singing

Every pulse becomes a drum

Chorus

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

Gold beneath the skin, I shine

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

This body is the mine

Verse

Headlamp glow turned into strobe light

Tunnel song turned into bass

Fathers walked this ground for wages

I walk it now for grace

Concrete cracked where roots push through it

Steam rising off the crowd

Every scar this city's given

Comes back up, comes back loud

Pre-Chorus

Feel the seam under my ribs

Feel the vein start to hum

Something buried wakes up singing

Every pulse becomes a drum

Chorus

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

Gold beneath the skin, I shine

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

This body is the mine

Bridge

Not stolen, not for selling

Not a thing they get to keep

This shine was always ours

It was only laid to sleep

Break the rock, find the river

Running gold beneath the bruise

Every hand that lifts tonight

Is a hand that has no use for losing

Chorus

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

Gold beneath the skin, I shine

Gold beneath the skin, I carry

This body is the mine
