Skin Remembers the Floor (Version 2)

Verse

Knees give first, then the rest of you

Calves gone tight from the hours through

Palms drop flat on the concrete cool

Body learns what the mind can't rule

Pre-Chorus

Weight leaves the ankles, sinks to the ground

Every bone finds the lower sound

Gravity pulls what the will let go

Floor rises up to catch you slow

Chorus

Skin remembers the floor

Skin remembers the floor

Let the legs fold, let go the core

Skin remembers the floor

Verse

Sweat pools where your shoulder blade bent

Hours stack up, breath comes spent

Spine uncurls like a rope let loose

Muscle forgets what the mind can't use

Pre-Chorus

Weight leaves the ankles, sinks to the ground

Every bone finds the lower sound

Gravity pulls what the will let go

Floor rises up to catch you slow

Chorus

Skin remembers the floor

Skin remembers the floor

Let the legs fold, let go the core

Skin remembers the floor

Bridge

Down to the wrist

Down to the bone

Nothing left standing

Nothing alone

Floor holds the weight

The weight holds you

Down where the tired

Turns something true

Chorus

Skin remembers the floor

Skin remembers the floor

Let the legs fold, let go the core

Skin remembers the floor
