Skin and Concrete Sermon (version 2)

Verse

Heat climbs up through the arch of my foot

Floor been holding a thousand soles

Warm like an altar worn down smooth

Every footstep a call and response

Knees bend soft like a row of pews

Spine's the aisle where the current runs

Light drips down through the rafters of arms

Congregation moving as one

Pre-Chorus

Floor keeps giving what the body needs

Feet keep asking, the beat agrees

Nothing above me but haze and gold

Skin remembers what the concrete holds

Chorus

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Feet to the floor and the floor talks back

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Verse

Ankles loosen where the bass rolls through

Toes press down like they're reading braille

Every crack in the floor got a hymn in it

Every hip finds the same detail

Shoulders open like a door to the sky

Heat comes up through the sole and stays

Nothing timed and nothing measured

Just the floor and the debt it repays

Pre-Chorus

Floor keeps giving what the body needs

Feet keep asking, the beat agrees

Nothing above me but haze and gold

Skin remembers what the concrete holds

Chorus

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Feet to the floor and the floor talks back

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Bridge

Every sole that ever stood here

Left a little heat behind

Floor don't need a single word for it

Body already knows the line

Chorus

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Skin and concrete, one sermon now

Feet to the floor and the floor talks back

Skin and concrete, one sermon now
