Rituals Unseen 2

Verse

Steel drum on the floor, four hands locked tight

Hips to hips, we ride the current of this light

Your palm against my ribcage, warm where it should be

I never knew a pulse could anchor me like you need to be

We do not ask for dawn, just move until we break

Through all our shadows that these mirrors won't take

Sweat is water for this fire I have been keeping

Burning on the inside till you came and started speaking

Every time my hands find yours in the dark of the hall

It's like I'm being pulled towards something more than all

The world outside has nothing left to say but 'start

And now that it's here, we don't walk away from this spark

Pre-Chorus

Hold still for just a moment.

I think you're finally seeing what I've been feeling too.

Let it rise up, don't push it down.

Is there anyone else I should be looking at right now?

Chorus

This is the first real thing we have ever held onto.

And if this is how it starts, I don't want anything more than this alone.

Nothing that's not the truth will make you whole.

So tell me something real about yourself and let's call this home.

Every heartbeat calls your name.

Verse 2

Your fingers climb my neck like a map of every place we've been

I fold into the pressure till it's hard to find where I start again

Nothing in my chest that didn't already know you were coming for this

The only thing we don't have is time, but that's not what this is about at all

Your collarbone against mine and I feel something finally click into place

Not a dream, not an invitation – just the weight of two bodies in one space

I've been trying to find my own name for years, but it sounds like yours now

And if the only thing we're holding onto is this very same hour

Then I'll hold on tight and never let it go.

Because every heartbeat calls your name.

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising up? Is that just the crowd or is there something more?

Let me in, let it all come out. I want to know what's really here behind these walls now.

Chorus

This is the first real thing we have ever held onto.

And if this is how it starts, I don't want anything more than this alone.

Nothing that's not the truth will make you whole.

So tell me something real about yourself and let's call this home.

Every heartbeat calls your name.

Bridge

Maybe I was searching for a light in all the wrong places.

But when I found you here in the dark, I knew exactly what this is.

No more questions left to ask

I already know who we are. Hold still for just a second longer and watch it grow.

Chorus

This is the first real thing we have ever held onto.

And if this is how it starts, I don't want anything more than this alone.

Nothing that's not the truth will make you whole.

So tell me something real about yourself and let's call this home.

Every heartbeat calls your name.
