Skin on the Beat II

Intro

Palm finds the skin

Heat wakes the drum

Verse

Fingers read the hide like a second heart

Pulse drops low where the bassline starts

Wrist goes loose when the arm gets tired

Hand still knows what the beat requires

Pre-Chorus

Let the tired hand lead

Follow the skin, not the need

Bone stays soft, breath stays slow

Body already knows

Chorus

Skin on the beat

Palm on the drum

Skin on the beat

Feel it come

Skin on the beat

Hands don't stop

Skin on the beat

Heartbeat drop

Verse

Sweat on the leather, the tone runs deep

Shoulders give up what the mind won't keep

Elbow drags but the rhythm won't bend

Hand keeps playing past where the songs end

Pre-Chorus

Let the tired hand lead

Follow the skin, not the need

Bone stays soft, breath stays slow

Body already knows

Chorus

Skin on the beat

Palm on the drum

Skin on the beat

Feel it come

Skin on the beat

Hands don't stop

Skin on the beat

Heartbeat drop
