Skin and Sunrise (Version 2)

Verse

Night thins out along the rafters

Sweat gone cold then warm again after

Pores wide open, current seeking ground

Skin remembers every single sound

Four hours in and my shirt's a second skin

Light starts leaking through where the dark has been

Every follicle a tiny wire

Catching first gold like it's catching fire

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising through my open pores

Can't tell the sweat from the light no more

Chorus

Skin and sunrise

Wired the same

Skin and sunrise

Running through my veins

Verse

Shoulders slick where the beam cuts through

Salt and amber, one residue

My pulse forgets where the drum begins

Dawn conducts itself across my skin

Every hair stands up to meet the ray

Body's tuned to the turn of day

Nothing hidden, nothing left to hide

Light gets in through every open side

Pre-Chorus

Something's rising through my open pores

Can't tell the sweat from the light no more

Chorus

Skin and sunrise

Wired the same

Skin and sunrise

Running through my veins

Bridge

Not the dark, not the day

Just the charge where they meet

Just the charge where they meet

Held right here in the heat

Chorus

Skin and sunrise

Wired the same

Skin and sunrise

Running through my veins
