Body As Testimony (version 2)

Verse

Sweat beads and falls like rain confessing

Lungs fill up with smoke and gold light

Ribs open wide to take the pressure

Chest becomes the proof, becomes the sign

Breath moves faster than the hi-hat

Sternum cracks a little wider now

Every drop I give the room keeps

Nothing hidden, nothing to disavow

Pre-Chorus

What is proof if not this shaking

What is truth if not this heat

Every cell out here confessing

Something older than my feet

Chorus

Body as testimony

Body as testimony

Sweat is the word, the floor is the room

Body as testimony

Verse

Palms lift up like they're catching something

Fingers spread and read the air like braille

Shoulders drop the weight they carried

Spine goes soft, the armor starts to fail

Collarbone hums under strobe light

Throat lets go a sound I didn't plan

Every muscle giving witness

This is how the current understands

Pre-Chorus

What is proof if not this shaking

What is truth if not this heat

Every cell out here confessing

Something older than my feet

Chorus

Body as testimony

Body as testimony

Sweat is the word, the floor is the room

Body as testimony

Bridge

One breath held before the drop returns

One still second where the whole room learns

Nothing moving, everything awake

This the silence that the body makes

Chorus

Body as testimony

Body as testimony

Sweat is the word, the floor is the room

Body as testimony
