Skin on the Beat (версия 2)

Verse

Palms find leather, worn and warm

Drum skin tight before the storm

Wrist goes loose after the tenth turn

Heat in the hand where the calluses burn

Sweat drops down to where the rhythm sits

Fingers stop counting, body just hits

Ten strikes deep and the ache goes soft

Hands forget the ground, keep reaching up and off

Pre-Chorus

Let the sting fade, let it blur

Skin on skin, no beat’s a stir

Palms gone numb but they won’t stop

Body plays where the mind gives up

Chorus

Skin on the beat

Hands don’t feel it, hands don’t feel it

Skin on the beat

Play right through it, play right through it

Skin on the beat

Palms and leather, one long heat

Skin on the beat

Rise up, rise up, rise up on the beat

Verse

Shoulders drop where the arms once shook

Muscle knows what the mind mistook

Twelve rounds in and the sound gets wide

Body’s the drummer, the hands just ride

Callus cracks where the rhythm bites

Bone keeps time past the falling light

Hands go slack but the beat stays true

Skin remembers what the will can't do

Pre-Chorus

Let the sting fade, let it blur

Skin on skin, no beat’s a stir

Palms gone numb but they won’t stop

Body plays where the mind gives up

Chorus

Skin on the beat

Hands don’t feel it, hands don’t feel it

Skin on the beat

Play right through it, play right through it

Skin on the beat

Palms and leather, one long heat

Skin on the beat

Rise up, rise up, rise up on the beat

Bridge

No more hands, no more skin

Just the pulse where the beat begins

Nowhere left the ache can hide

Body opens, lets the drum inside

Chorus

Skin on the beat

Hands don’t feel it, hands don’t feel it

Skin on the beat

Play right through it, play right through it

Skin on the beat

Palms and leather, one long heat

Skin on the beat

Rise up, rise up, rise up on the beat
