Let the slow drum carry the rest (version 2)

Verse 1

Chalk dust rising from the step outside

Low roll humming where the shadows hide

Your palm flat against the timber post

Holding to the pulse that moves us most

Warm wind blowing through the open gate

Heavy wooden cone that holds the weight

Pre-Chorus

Close your eyes now

Let the low end slide

Close your eyes now

Nowhere left to hide

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Let the slow drum carry the rest

Skin on skin while the speakers hum

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Verse 2

Sweat on your collar like a drop of rain

Bare heels turning on the gravel lane

Shift your ribs right into the swing

We don't need to name a single thing

Vibration crawling through the hollow stone

Two silhouettes moving on their own

Pre-Chorus

Close your eyes now

Let the low end slide

Close your eyes now

Nowhere left to hide

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Let the slow drum carry the rest

Skin on skin while the speakers hum

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Bridge

Down in the timber, down in the wire

Cool night cutting through the velvet fire

No breath wasted, no step wrong

The body knows where the drop belongs

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Let the slow drum carry the rest

Skin on skin while the speakers hum

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest
