Skin & Sanctuary (version 2)

Verse

Dust rises soft where my heel just left it

Shoulder to shoulder, we breathe as one

Heat climbs slow from the floor to my collar

Every stranger becomes a kind of sun

Hands find hands without asking why

Sweat runs warm like a shared amen

Bassline stitches the room together

Skin remembers what walls forget

Pre-Chorus

Something opens where the crowd was closing

Floor turns wide as a waiting sky

Nobody's counting the hours passing

We just move where the low end guides

Chorus

Skin and sanctuary

Built from breath, built from beat

Skin and sanctuary

This the only ground I need

Verse

Elbow, spine, the rhythm travels

Passed from body to body like light

Nobody owns the shape we're making

It bends and holds us through the night

Sound stacks up like walls around us

Softer than any roof I've known

Every pulse becomes a doorway

Wide enough to hold us all

Pre-Chorus

Something opens where the crowd was closing

Floor turns wide as a waiting sky

Nobody's counting the hours passing

We just move where the low end guides

Chorus

Skin and sanctuary

Built from breath, built from beat

Skin and sanctuary

This the only ground I need

Bridge

Between the drums there's a hush that holds me

Quiet enough to hear my own blood

Not the sound but the space that saves us

Silence dressed up as the flood

Chorus

Skin and sanctuary

Built from breath, built from beat

Skin and sanctuary

This the only ground I need
