Perimeter of Skin (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete holds the heat of the room

Chrome rail cold against the arm

Body count against the wall

Skin the only fence I own

Verse

Crowd presses in, the line goes thin

Elbow finds where elbow ends

Sweat runs down and blurs the mark

Where you stop and where I start

Pre-Chorus

Edge was drawn in salt and heat

Floor erases what it meets

Chorus

Perimeter of skin

Dissolves into the press

Perimeter of skin

No border left to guess

Verse

Shoulder locks to shoulder now

Chest against a stranger's back

Bassline finds the shared pulse rate

One heat signature, no gap

Verse

Nametag peeling off the coat

Face is just a light that moved

Concrete floor records the weight

Not whose weight, just how much stayed

Pre-Chorus

Edge was drawn in salt and heat

Floor erases what it meets

Chorus

Perimeter of skin

Dissolves into the press

Perimeter of skin

No border left to guess

Bridge

Where I end

Nobody checks

Chrome stays cold

Skin forgets

Chorus

Perimeter of skin

Dissolves into the press

Perimeter of skin

No border left to guess
