Skin Against Sunrise II (version 2)

Verse

Sweat gone cold on the back of your neck

Four hours in and the legs still check

Dust on the ankles, kicked up thin

Night sits heavy on your skin

Shoulders drop where the bassline caught

Breath comes shallow, mind comes short

Eyes half shut but the feet still true

Dark holds on but it's letting you through

Pre-Chorus

Something warm at the edge of the black

Something pulling the shoulders back

Hold the ground till the color comes

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Skin against sunrise

Let the gold find where the sweat runs dry

Skin against sunrise

Verse

Fingers loosen, the fists unclench

Salt gone dry on the collar's edge

Knees remember what standing costs

Body counts what the night has lost

Grey turns pink at the far tree line

Heat comes back where the chill was mine

Legs stop asking, the hips still spin

Light does the work that breath begins

Pre-Chorus

Something warm at the edge of the black

Something pulling the shoulders back

Hold the ground till the color comes

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Skin against sunrise

Let the gold find where the sweat runs dry

Skin against sunrise

Bridge

Warm now

Where the cold was

Wide now

Where the tight was

Open

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Skin against sunrise

Let the gold find where the sweat runs dry

Skin against sunrise
