Skin & Sacred Ground (Version 2)

Verse

Dust lifts soft where my heel comes down

Arches bend to the low drum sound

Every circle I cut in the concrete

Wears a groove that the night remembers

Pre-Chorus

Feel the floor rise up through my ankles

Feel the weight turn light in my chest

Nothing sacred but where I'm standing

Nothing holy but this breath

Chorus

Skin and sacred ground

Skin and sacred ground

Every step is a prayer without asking

Skin and sacred ground

Verse

Toes press deep where the bass has been

Dust turns gold in the strobe light's spin

Soles remember what the mind forgets here

Ground keeps time with the drum in my skin

Pre-Chorus

Feel the floor rise up through my ankles

Feel the weight turn light in my chest

Nothing sacred but where I'm standing

Nothing holy but this breath

Chorus

Skin and sacred ground

Skin and sacred ground

Every step is a prayer without asking

Skin and sacred ground

Bridge

Dust becomes smoke becomes air becomes sky

No floor left, no feet, just the rise

Skin dissolves where the ground begins

Ground remembers, keeps living in

Chorus

Skin and sacred ground

Skin and sacred ground

Every step is a prayer without asking

Skin and sacred ground

Outro

Dust settles soft where the drum lets go

Ground holds still what the body already knows
