Pulse Under The Floorboards

Verse

Tile cold under bare heel bone

Joist creaks low like a second groan

Floor's a drum skin, dust jumps thin

Building's ribcage letting bass in

Shoe sole tingling, sub-line hum

Vibration climbing up through thumb

Concrete pillar breathing slow

Basement heartbeat down below

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the building sway

Boards confessing what they can't say

Every plank's a vein that's fed

Pulse running up from the bassbin bed

Chorus

Pulse under the floorboards

Pulse under the floorboards

Building's heartbeat, I'm the conduit

Pulse under the floorboards

Verse

Pipe sweats condensation down the wall

Crowd weight bending the whole hall

Nail heads humming in the wood

Floor remembers everywhere we stood

Copper wire buzzing overhead

Speaker cone breathing out instead

Static crackle, skin gone bright

Floorboards carry us through the night

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the building sway

Boards confessing what they can't say

Every plank's a vein that's fed

Pulse running up from the bassbin bed

Chorus

Pulse under the floorboards

Pulse under the floorboards

Building's heartbeat, I'm the conduit

Pulse under the floorboards

Bridge

I'm not standing, I am wired in

Skirting board holding my shin

Building's lungs and building's spine

Structure keeping perfect time

Every level, every floor

Same pulse feeding every door

Chorus

Pulse under the floorboards

Pulse under the floorboards

Building's heartbeat, I'm the conduit

Pulse under the floorboards
