Bodies Become Light (version 2)

Verse

Dust hangs gold in the one bright beam

Shoulders drop what they carried in

Floor is warm like a furnace stone

Weight untangles from under my skin

Feet forget the way they walk

Knees remember how to bend and rise

Every bassline pulls the heavy out

Leaves us floating behind our eyes

Pre-Chorus

Something loosens along my spine

Gravity lets go of the room

Shadows burn off the wall, one by one

Skin turns thin as afternoon

Chorus

Bodies become light

Bodies become light

Nothing left to hold us down

Bodies become light

Verse

Sweat lifts steam off a hundred necks

Turns to smoke in the strobe's slow spin

Concrete holds every footstep soft

Like it's learned how to let us in

Arms go loose like rope let out

Chest goes wide where the doubt was kept

Kick drum empties the tired hours

Nothing heavy in me is left

Pre-Chorus

Something loosens along my spine

Gravity lets go of the room

Shadows burn off the wall, one by one

Skin turns thin as afternoon

Chorus

Bodies become light

Bodies become light

Nothing left to hold us down

Bodies become light

Bridge

No shadow left where the low end hit

No floor beneath, just the rise, just the rise

Every rib is a window opening

Every breath turns to sunrise

Chorus

Bodies become light

Bodies become light

Nothing left to hold us down

Bodies become light
