Sweat Like Gold 4

Intro

Static hum, skin warm

Feet find the floor before the lights come up

Verse 1

Black mirror door swings shut behind me

Last five years in a single glance

Sneakers scuff where the strobe light splinters

Same tired smile and different chance

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through my chest now?

Somewhere past this wall is something more

Chorus

Sweat like gold, skin on bassline

Every heartbeat's a door I left behind

Pounds on concrete, letting go of me

Sweat like gold, this is the only prayer I know

Verse 2

Old ID photo taped to my water bottle

Face I don't answer no more

Strangers moving like they own this hour

Same four counts I've practiced before

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through my chest now?

Somewhere past this wall is something more

Chorus

Sweat like gold, skin on bassline

Every heartbeat's a door I left behind

Pounds on concrete, letting go of me

Sweat like gold, this is the only prayer I know

Bridge

Not running from the names that called my name

Just running to the beat until it breaks me open

No weight in my pockets but everything inside me

I traded silence for a different kind of noise

Chorus

Sweat like gold, skin on bassline

Every heartbeat's a door I left behind

Pounds on concrete, letting go of me

Sweat like gold, this is the only prayer I know
