Hardpan Strobe

Verse 1

Cold concrete under boot

Salt running from the root

Two steps inside the steam

Split open by the beam

Catch your knuckles near the rail

Heavy kick drum never fails

Zero space between our ribs

Here is where the rhythm lives

Pre-Chorus

Hold the flash, hold the blind

Leave the waking world behind

Are you matching my pace

In this shutter-motion space?

Chorus

Hardpan strobe

Flashes freeze on the skin

Hardpan strobe

Where you end, I begin

Hardpan strobe

Pounding deep in the stone

Hardpan strobe

Never leaving alone

Verse 2

Shoulder grazes on the sleeve

Sub-bass will not let us leave

Black soot across the floor

Deadbolt upon the door

Dilated, locked and still

Jaw is tight against the chill

Sweat along the collar line

Breathe your second into mine

Pre-Chorus

Hold the flash, hold the blind

Leave the waking world behind

Are you matching my pace

In this shutter-motion space?

Chorus

Hardpan strobe

Flashes freeze on the skin

Hardpan strobe

Where you end, I begin

Hardpan strobe

Pounding deep in the stone

Hardpan strobe

Never leaving alone

Bridge

One breath

One line

Your grip

On mine

Hard ground

Black glare

Static

In the air

We don't fall

We don't break

Only what

The shadows take

Chorus

Hardpan strobe

Flashes freeze on the skin

Hardpan strobe

Where you end, I begin

Hardpan strobe

Pounding deep in the stone

Hardpan strobe

Never leaving alone
