Bassline in the Blood (Version 2)

Verse

Iron pipe, the bassline runs

Through my ribs where the blood's spun

Floor shakes loose beneath my feet

Engine hums down in the heat

Hands up high against the wall

Kick drum knocks till I fall back on it all

Sweat cuts cold through the heat

Piston heartbeat under my feet

Pre-Chorus

Can't feel my skin no more

Just the bass running out of the floor

Chorus

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Nothing left but what the machine do

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Move till the lights come up, move till they come up

Verse 2

Black pipe breathing under my chin

Kick drum locking into my skin

Hands gone numb against the beam

Just the engine and the wire's scream

Cold sweat dripping down through the bass

Chest locked tight to the kick drum's pace

Can't feel my hands, can't feel my name

Only static and the steel machine

Pre-Chorus

Can't feel my skin no more

Just the bass running out of the floor

Chorus

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Nothing left but what the machine do

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Move till the lights come up, move till they come up

Bridge

No skin left, no name, no face

Just the iron humming through my chest

Kick drum locks where my heart used to be

Nothing's mine now — the machine and me

Chorus

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Nothing left but what the machine do

Bassline in the blood, in the blood

Move till the lights come up, move till they come up
