Dust Rises Where We Are (Version 2)

Verse

Dust is rising from the floor we stand on

Every footstep turning red in sand

Salt across my collarbone and open

Palms turned upwards catching what it's thrown

Heat runs low beneath our skin now

Shoulders loose, let the rhythm pull us under

Nothing left that I need to carry

Just this heat and your eyes across me

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through my chest?

Rising slow like something I possess?

Skin starts shining, hands still open wide

This is where we meet the other side

Chorus

Dust rises where we are

Gold on gold and nobody's there

Lift your feet off the ground now

Feel it rising where our bodies sound

Verse 2

Sweat runs cool down through the back of my neck

Breath comes slow like something I can trust

Every hand reaches up towards the amber

Nobody speaks but we understand for sure

The beat slides past the drum in the center

Fingers laced and we begin to hum it

Every shadow leaning soft and heavy

Nothing standing here that's not already full of us

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through my chest?

Rising slow like something I possess?

Skin starts shining, hands still open wide

This is where we meet the other side

Chorus

Dust rises where we are

Gold on gold and nobody's there

Lift your feet off the ground now

Feel it rising where our bodies sound

Bridge

No more names here, no clock, no shadow

Just the hum beneath us turning hollow

Every grain of dust becomes a body

Rising up into a sky that's never cloudy

Chorus

Dust rises where we are

Gold on gold and nobody's there

Lift your feet off the ground now

Feel it rising where our bodies sound
