No need to speak, just weight and breath (versie 2)

Verse

Dust rising soft off the concrete yard

Bulb wire swaying, burning half-hard

Palm finds my spine before I turn

One shoulder dips, the room starts to learn

Nobody's talking, the beat does the work

Feet find the one-two, hips find the curve

Pre-Chorus

Do we need the words, do we need the name

When the shoulder knows just where to aim

Breath falls in line with the kick and the snare

Chorus

Let the slow drum carry the rest

No need to speak, just weight and breath

Hand on my back says all the rest

Let the slow drum carry the rest

Verse

Tin roof ticking with the midnight heat

Someone counts four with a tap of the feet

Sweat on the collar, salt on the sleeve

Two shadows folding, easy to read

Nobody watching, the circle just knows

Weight going left where the bassline goes

Pre-Chorus

Do we need a sound, do we need a sign

When your hand already reads the line

Breath falls in step with the kick and the snare

Chorus

Let the slow drum carry the rest

No need to speak, just weight and breath

Hand on my back says all the rest

Let the slow drum carry the rest

Bridge

Long after the bulbs go dim in the yard

The pulse stays low under the skin, still hard

Quiet room, hands still remember the load

Body still counting the beat down the road

Chorus

Let the slow drum carry the rest

No need to speak, just weight and breath

Hand on my back says all the rest

Let the slow drum carry the rest
