Dust on the Skyline

Verse

Red road rising where the taxis turn

Gravel dust catching gold, we let it burn

Rooftop speakers humming through the haze

Ancestors moving in the amber rays

Water tower shadow on the wall

Bassline climbing where the towers fall

Bare feet drumming on the concrete floor

This whole city breathing through my pores

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground remember

Every footstep, every stone

Dust rise up like an ember

Carry the rhythm home

Chorus

Dust on the skyline, we rise like smoke

Dust on the skyline, hearts wide open

Feet on the concrete, sky in our bones

Dust on the skyline, carry us home

Verse

Cranes lean over where the market used to be

Steel and static, but the pulse still speaks to me

Neon flickers where the fire pit stood

Same old spirit, wearing new hood

Taxi horns become a call and response

Grandmother's laughter in the traffic once

I move my hips where the old ones swayed

Nothing forgotten, nothing decayed

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground remember

Every footstep, every stone

Dust rise up like an ember

Carry the rhythm home

Chorus

Dust on the skyline, we rise like smoke

Dust on the skyline, hearts wide open

Feet on the concrete, sky in our bones

Dust on the skyline, carry us home

Bridge

Every tower was a hut before

Every hut still lives beneath the floor

I feel them rising through my chest

Turning heartbeat into second breath

This body holds the whole horizon

Every skyline is a shrine we're standing on

Chorus

Dust on the skyline, we rise like smoke

Dust on the skyline, hearts wide open

Feet on the concrete, sky in our bones

Dust on the skyline, carry us home
