Sweat and Salvation (version 2)

Verse

Calves go tight where the floor turns wet

Knees start bending, the mind forgets

Dust lifts up where the sole meets ground

Body keeps time when the will breaks down

Pre-Chorus

How far can the frame still bend

Before the breaking turns to mend

Lungs pull hard, chest runs thin

Let the falling let you in

Chorus

Sweat and salvation

Rise like steam

Sweat and salvation

Break the seam

Sweat and salvation

Knees to floor

Sweat and salvation

Verse

Salt on the tongue where the breath runs dry

Shoulders drop low, no reason why

Spine goes soft where the low end hits

Body forgets where the edges sit

Pre-Chorus

How far can the frame still bend

Before the breaking turns to mend

Lungs pull hard, chest runs thin

Let the falling let you in

Chorus

Sweat and salvation

Rise like steam

Sweat and salvation

Break the seam

Sweat and salvation

Knees to floor

Sweat and salvation

Ask for more

Bridge

A stranger's palm finds the small of your back

Holds the weight when the legs go slack

No name needed, no reason told

One room breathing, one lung, one hold

Chorus

Sweat and salvation

Rise like steam

Sweat and salvation

Break the seam

Sweat and salvation

Knees to floor

Sweat and salvation
