Gold Between the Beats

Intro

Kick drops out, my chest still counts

Silence holds me for a breath

Verse

Warehouse speaker breathing slow

Between the claps a door swings wide

Something older steps into

The half-second where I hide

Pre-Chorus

Feel it wait there in the quiet

Feel it ask me not to leave

Every gap between the rhythm

Is a hand I can't quite see

Chorus

Gold between the beats

Gold between the beats

Silence carries someone

Gold between the beats

Verse

Floor tom pauses, sweat runs cold

Streetlight flickers through the haze

In the drop before the drop hits

I can feel my mother's ways

Pre-Chorus

Feel it wait there in the quiet

Feel it ask me not to leave

Every gap between the rhythm

Is a hand I can't quite see

Chorus

Gold between the beats

Gold between the beats

Silence carries someone

Gold between the beats

Bridge

Not the sound but what it's hiding

Not the drum but what comes after

Ancestors live in the spaces

Where the bass forgets to answer

Chorus

Gold between the beats

Gold between the beats

Silence carries someone

Gold between the beats

Outro

Beat comes back, I'm still glowing

Gold still moving through my skin
