Vertex Ivory (versione 3)

Verse

Salt runs a line down the curve of your spine

Shirt clings tight where the heat leaves a sign

Knees find the floor like they know how to kneel

Palms press flat on the concrete, feel

Breath turns ragged, then breath finds a shape

Chest keeps time with the drums you can't escape

Hands lift slow through the smoke and the haze

Body remembers the oldest ways

Pre-Chorus

Ask the ache what it's trying to say

Ask the burn if it's leading the way

Something rises where muscle goes weak

Let the body finally speak

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising up

Sweat becomes prayer

Fill the cup

Sweat becomes prayer

Bow and rise

Sweat becomes prayer

Open eyes

Verse

Salt in the eyebrows, salt on the tongue

Chest keeps beating like it's just begun

Elbows drop low where the bassline bends

Body kneels down till the hour ends

Fingers spread wide like they're catching light

Spine curls forward then straightens tight

Nothing left but the pulse and the floor

Body's not empty, it's asking for more

Pre-Chorus

Ask the ache what it's trying to say

Ask the burn if it's leading the way

Something rises where muscle goes weak

Let the body finally speak

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising up

Sweat becomes prayer

Fill the cup

Sweat becomes prayer

Bow and rise

Sweat becomes prayer

Open eyes

Bridge

Every drop that falls is a word let go

Every knee that bends says what you know

Floor turns altar under tired feet

Body kneels down to complete

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising up

Sweat becomes prayer

Fill the cup

Sweat becomes prayer

Bow and rise

Sweat becomes prayer

Open eyes
