Body Speaks in Bass

Verse

Throat goes quiet, jaw unlocks

Words dissolve before they land

Ribs pick up what tongue forgot

Bass writes letters in my hand

Fingers spell what mouth can't carry

Shoulders roll the vowel sound

Every joint becomes a language

Older than the spoken ground

Pre-Chorus

No more talking, just translating

Chest to floor and floor to chest

Body finds the words for silence

Speaking low, it knows the rest

Chorus

Body speaks in bass

No sound but the shape it makes

Every bone repeats the phrase

Body speaks in bass

Verse

Hips reply before I ask them

Spine keeps grammar in the sway

Sweat becomes the punctuation

Dripping soft where words decay

Knees agree without a language

Palms translate the empty air

Nothing needs to be repeated

Body already spoke it there

Pre-Chorus

No more talking, just translating

Chest to floor and floor to chest

Body finds the words for silence

Speaking low, it knows the rest

Chorus

Body speaks in bass

No sound but the shape it makes

Every bone repeats the phrase

Body speaks in bass

Bridge

Somewhere past the need for meaning

Past the mouth and past the name

Frequency becomes the feeling

Feeling becomes the frame

Chorus

Body speaks in bass

No sound but the shape it makes

Every bone repeats the phrase

Body speaks in bass
