Skin Keeps the Beat

Intro

Kick finds skin before it finds sound

Verse

Drumhead tight beneath the light

Same stretch running down my spine

Every hit lands twice as one

Membrane keeping perfect time

Pre-Chorus

Feel the skin remember rhythm

Feel the pulse before the beat

Body tuned to something older

Vibrating through my feet

Chorus

Skin keeps the beat

Skin keeps the beat

No drum without the body

No body without the beat

Verse

Sweat on the surface, taut and thin

Same tension holding both of us

Every strike I take and give back

Sound becomes the only trust

Pre-Chorus

Feel the skin remember rhythm

Feel the pulse before the beat

Body tuned to something older

Vibrating through my feet

Chorus

Skin keeps the beat

Skin keeps the beat

No drum without the body

No body without the beat

Bridge

One skin stretched across the night

One skin, one sound, one hide

Nothing hollow left inside

Outro

Skin keeps the beat

Skin keeps the beat

Still keeping it
