Gold Dust Ancestors lyrics
Verse
Chalk white dust on the windowsill
Father's boots by the broken grill
Copper wire hums through the fence
Old drum boiling, thick with scent
Floorboards creak where the miners slept
Rhythm buried but never kept
I feel it move through the soles of my feet
Dust remembers every beat
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it settle
Deep beneath the skin
Something buried, golden
Waking up again
Chorus
Gold dust ancestors
Under my skin
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
Gold dust ancestors
Rising within
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
Verse
Headframe turning slow and wide
Cage door rattling, dark inside
Beadwork threads on my mother's wrist
Every color a name we missed
Shebeen speakers crackle low
Same old rhythm, new tempo
Hands on shoulders, hips in line
Blood remembers the ninety-nine
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it settle
Deep beneath the skin
Something buried, golden
Waking up again
Chorus
Gold dust ancestors
Under my skin
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
Gold dust ancestors
Rising within
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
Bridge
I carry the shaft in my chest
The tunnel, the dark, the unrest
Every hand that dug through the stone
Lives in the marrow of my bone
I am the seam they were chasing
I am the vein still tracing
Gold in the dust, gold in the breath
Nothing they buried was left for death
Chorus
Gold dust ancestors
Under my skin
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
Gold dust ancestors
Rising within
Gold dust ancestors
Where I begin
