Riff in the Bone (version 2)

Riff in the bone

Chrome is rusting on my collarbone

Headlights crawling where I used to roam

Engine dying, static in my ear

I'm chasing something out of here

Bassline hums inside my sternum, low and clear

Every streetlamp casting shadows on the rearview mirror

Palm-to-palm with steel, we're dancing down the line

Not a soul around but I'm not alone tonight

Can you feel it in your chest?

Let it rise and let it nest

Riff in my bone, rattling through the frame

Moving till the lights come up again

Shadow chasing me across this road

Won't stop dancing till I know what's on my shoulder

Sirens flashing off the city walls

Burning glass against my hollows where the bass would fall

Every mile is turning into gold

I'm not running out, I'm just letting go

Tires skid but I don't feel fear

Riff in my bone keeps pulling me near

No one's watching and I don't need light

Only this low hum keeping me alive tonight

Can you hear it humming through your skin?

Let the darkness take us both within

Riff in my bone, rattling through the frame

Moving till the lights come up again

Shadow chasing me across this road

Won't stop dancing till I know what's on my shoulder

No more streets, no more names

Just the bassline making me insane

Let it eat my empty chest and turn to gold

This is how we live and never let go

Riff in my bone, rattling through the frame

Moving till the lights come up again

Shadow chasing me across this road

Won't stop dancing till I know what's on my shoulder

Riff in the bone

Static in the air

Lights are rising

I'm still moving
