Bones Know the Rhythm (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Warehouse floor, the paint half gone

Sweat on the pillars, breath on the glass

Bassline crawling up through the concrete

Finds my ankles, climbs to my ribs

Nobody taught me this exact turn

Someone before me left it in my hip

Streetlight through the broken window burns

Same gold my great aunt used to grip

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising from the floorboards

Feel it moving through my spine

Every heartbeat is a hallway

Every hallway lets them in

Chorus

My bones know the rhythm

My bones know the rhythm

Long before I learned to move

My bones know the rhythm

Verse

Taxi rank silence, three in the morning

Neon bleeding on the wet tar road

Someone's grandmother hums a warning

Turns into the beat the speaker throws

My collarbone remembers being a drum

My wrist remembers being a door

Hands up now, the ancestors come

Dancing through me to the floor

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising from the floorboards

Feel it moving through my spine

Every heartbeat is a hallway

Every hallway lets them in

Chorus

My bones know the rhythm

My bones know the rhythm

Long before I learned to move

My bones know the rhythm

Bridge

I didn't learn this from a mirror

I learned it in my mother's chest

Every scar my people carried

Turns to motion, turns to rest

Turns to motion, turns to rest

Chorus

My bones know the rhythm

My bones know the rhythm

Long before I learned to move

My bones know the rhythm
