Sweat Before Dawn (Version 2)

Intro

Sweat before dawn

Sweat before dawn

Verse 1 – male vocal

Bare feet on the timber beam

Dust hangs heavy in the room's dark seam

Fingers tracing where your collar bends

Every step is closer than it ends

The lights go amber, we don't break stride

Nobody here is asking to stay alive

Pre-Chorus – female vocal, airy and light

Feel it climbing through my skin now

Watch it rise before the room lets go

Chorus

Sweat before dawn, sweat before dawn

Every breath is burning off this ground

Sweat before dawn, sweat before dawn

Nothing left of who we were tonight

Verse 2 – male vocal

Chest to chest against the bassline wall

Your hand finds mine through the smoke and haze

The floor gives back what our feet give out

Nobody's counting what we got to lose now

Salt on my brow like it knows the score

This is how we learn to ask for more

Pre-Chorus – female vocal

Feel it climbing through my skin now

Watch it rise before the room lets go

Chorus

Sweat before dawn, sweat before dawn

Every breath is burning off this ground

Sweat before dawn, sweat before dawn

Nothing left of who we were tonight

Bridge – both vocals together

We don't need a name for what's happening here

The floor remembers better than our fear

Let the walls dissolve and let it burn

This is how we're reborn

Outro

Sweat before dawn

Fading gold on amber floors

Sweat before dawn
