Skin Against Concrete (version 2)

Verse

Bare knees down on the burning floor

Concrete drinks the heat off my skin

Dust rises soft where my palms have been

Every grain remembers where I've been

Floor holds heat from a thousand feet

Stores it deep where the bass has been

I press my weight into what's beneath me

Ground gives back what the night puts in

Pre-Chorus

Something rises up through the stone

Through my knees and into my spine

Floor keeps time that my feet forgot

Concrete pulling me out of mine

Chorus

Skin against concrete

Ground is where I meet

Floor becomes the sky I'm under

Skin against concrete

Verse

Toes find cracks worn smooth by dancing

Heat climbs slow from ankle to chest

Every hand that's touched this ground before

Left a warmth I haven't left yet

Palms flat down, I feel it answer

Low end humming through the seam

Floor don't care where my feet have wandered

Only asks that I stay and lean

Pre-Chorus

Something rises up through the stone

Through my knees and into my spine

Floor keeps time that my feet forgot

Concrete pulling me out of mine

Chorus

Skin against concrete

Ground is where I meet

Floor becomes the sky I'm under

Skin against concrete

Bridge

Not the air that lifts me now

It's the weight I'm pressing down

Every grain of dust below

Carries what I can't let go

Floor don't rise, so I sink in

Deeper is how I begin

Chorus

Skin against concrete

Ground is where I meet

Floor becomes the sky I'm under

Skin against concrete
