Skin Against Sunrise IV (Version 2)

Verse

Door swings wide on the concrete cool

Bare feet find the dew like a rule

Chest still ringing from the bass we chased

Now the gold comes soft across your face

Pre-Chorus

Let the sweat turn cold where the night ran deep

Let the eyelids lift from the borrowed sleep

Every muscle loose but the pulse holds fast

Waiting on the light to make it last

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Break the hold

Skin against sunrise

Turn to gold

Skin against sunrise

Let it through

Skin against sunrise

Body knew

Verse

Salt dried thin on the collarbone

Hands unclench what the dark had known

Shadows peel back slow off the parking wall

Warm gets in through the gaps in it all

Pre-Chorus

Let the sweat turn cold where the night ran deep

Let the eyelids lift from the borrowed sleep

Every muscle loose but the pulse holds fast

Waiting on the light to make it last

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Break the hold

Skin against sunrise

Turn to gold

Skin against sunrise

Let it through

Skin against sunrise

Body knew

Bridge

Turn your palm up, let it find the light

Trace the tired hours out of the night

Two shadows folding into one gold line

Everything heavy set down this time

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Break the hold

Skin against sunrise

Turn to gold

Skin against sunrise

Let it through

Skin against sunrise

Body knew
