Bassline Sermon (Version 2)

Verse

Copper wire against my spine

Kick drum counting out the time

Hands up catching what the speaker throws

Floor still humming long after it goes

Bare feet moving on the cold concrete wall

Sweat and static on my collarbone

Someone's laughing near the exit door

I don't remember where I came from anymore

Pre-Chorus

Higher now, higher than before

Pulse is rising, so are we

Nothing left but skin and sound

This is where the heavy lifting happens

Chorus

Bassline sermon, taking hold of me

Rising up through my feet to free my knees

Bassline sermon, speaking straight to bone

I am moving till the morning finds us home

Verse

Smoke machine spinning lazy circles slow

Someone's shouting something I can't hear over the low end

Eyes closed letting the subwoofer do its work

Every muscle forgetting what it ever was for

Pre-Chorus

Higher now, higher than before

Pulse is rising, so are we

Nothing left but skin and sound

This is where the heavy lifting happens

Chorus

Bassline sermon, taking hold of me

Rising up through my feet to free my knees

Bassline sermon, speaking straight to bone

I am moving till the morning finds us home

Bridge

No names here, no yesterday, no name on the list

Just this kick and skin against the heat

The speaker's shouting something only my blood can hear

We were nothing, now we're everything here

Chorus

Bassline sermon, taking hold of me

Rising up through my feet to free my knees

Bassline sermon, speaking straight to bone

I am moving till the morning finds us home
