Skin and Concrete

Verse

Soles flat on the warm concrete

Floor still holding yesterday's heat

Every crack a vein of light

Feeding upward through my feet

Palms down, pressed to the grain

Texture reading like a second skin

Every grain a thousand footsteps

Told me where to let it in

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the arches

Feel it climbing through my knees

Concrete keeps the heat of bodies

Long after they leave

Chorus

Skin and concrete, same temperature

Skin and concrete, holding heat

Skin and concrete, we're the current

Skin and concrete, under my feet

Verse

Knees bend low to touch the floor

Cool at the edges, warm at the core

Sweat drops down and joins the surface

Water finding water more

Every dancer left a print

Layered deep beneath the sound

I add mine here, then lift it

Nothing wasted on the ground

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the arches

Feel it climbing through my knees

Concrete keeps the heat of bodies

Long after they leave

Chorus

Skin and concrete, same temperature

Skin and concrete, holding heat

Skin and concrete, we're the current

Skin and concrete, under my feet

Bridge

The floor was poured before I got here

It'll stay warm after I'm gone

Bodies come and pass their heat down

The concrete carries it on

Chorus

Skin and concrete, same temperature

Skin and concrete, holding heat

Skin and concrete, we're the current

Skin and concrete, under my feet
