Vessel on the Floor lyrics
Intro
Basin tips
Water finds the cracks
Floor remembers every step it takes
Verse
Enamel bucket, cold against my palm
Aunty flings it wide before the drum
Dust goes quiet, concrete turns to glass
Streetlight swimming where our shadows pass
Pre-Chorus
Feel the water settle in the seams
Feel the weight of all we carry in
Every puddle holds a hundred feet
Every ripple wakes the skin
Chorus
Vessel on the floor
Vessel on the floor
Sweat and water mixing
Vessel on the floor
Verse
Grandmother's hands still shape this exact throw
Same wrist turn, same water letting go
Hall lights hum above the wet cement
Every step we take is borrowed, lent
Pre-Chorus
Feel the water settle in the seams
Feel the weight of all we carry in
Every puddle holds a hundred feet
Every ripple wakes the skin
Chorus
Vessel on the floor
Vessel on the floor
Sweat and water mixing
Vessel on the floor
Bridge
I am the bucket and the hand that pours
I am the water finding the floor
Nothing spills that isn't meant to stay
We move until the water dries away
Outro
Vessel on the floor
Still holding what we pour
Vessel on the floor
