Bones Remember The Floor (versie 2)

Verse

Concrete cold beneath my heel

Then it warms the way old stone does

Something stirs beneath my kneecap

Marrow waking to the low hum

Dust and sweat and amber light

My spine remembers steps I never learned

Feet keep faith with something older

Floor keeps count of every turn

Pre-Chorus

Something deeper than the muscle knows this

Older than the breath I'm breathing now

Ribs unlock and let it rise up

Body bending where the bassline shows me how

Chorus

Bones remember the floor

Bones remember the floor

Every step my grandmother's shoulders

Bones remember the floor

Verse

Ankle rolls like river water

Hip finds hinge it always had

Sound moves through my thigh and shin bone

Waking up what sleeps in every joint I've had

Skull hums soft against the kickdrum

Elbow answers what the snare drum said

Every vertebra a doorway

Opening to something ancient in my head

Pre-Chorus

Something deeper than the muscle knows this

Older than the breath I'm breathing now

Ribs unlock and let it rise up

Body bending where the bassline shows me how

Chorus

Bones remember the floor

Bones remember the floor

Every step my grandmother's shoulders

Bones remember the floor

Bridge

This ground was danced before my dancing

Feet wrote prayers here long before my name

Concrete holds the weight of all of them

My body just repeats the same refrain

Same refrain, same refrain

Marrow deep, it never left this place

Chorus

Bones remember the floor

Bones remember the floor

Every step my grandmother's shoulders

Bones remember the floor
