Skin and Concrete Prayer (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete hums beneath my sole

Bass climbs up through heel and bone

Every step a small surrender

Floor keeps count of what I owe

Dust rises soft around my feet

Light cuts thin through amber heat

Knees remember how to bend

Body finds the ground and meets it

Pre-Chorus

Weight falls down, floor holds it steady

Nothing asked, and I'm already

Bowing low without a word

Skin and stone, the same low church

Chorus

Skin and concrete prayer

Skin and concrete prayer

Feet keep bowing to the floor

Skin and concrete prayer

Verse

Sole to slab, the current flows

Grit and sweat where the rhythm goes

Toes press down, the switch releases

Weight I carried, the ground now holds it

Palms brush low against the tile

Heat comes up in a slow wide smile

Every footfall breaks me open

Floor keeps rising, mile by mile

Pre-Chorus

Weight falls down, floor holds it steady

Nothing asked, and I'm already

Bowing low without a word

Skin and stone, the same low church

Chorus

Skin and concrete prayer

Skin and concrete prayer

Feet keep bowing to the floor

Skin and concrete prayer

Bridge

No altar but the dancefloor tile

No steeple but the crowd's wide smile

Ground and body, same low hum

Nothing above, nothing to come

Chorus

Skin and concrete prayer

Skin and concrete prayer

Feet keep bowing to the floor

Skin and concrete prayer
