Skin and Salt

Verse

Shoulder finds a stranger's shoulder

Heat moves through before a name

Collarbone already glowing

Salt begins to trace the frame

Hands don't ask before they open

Water rises, breath by breath

Every pulse another offering

Given up before the rest

Pre-Chorus

How much of me can leave me

Before I disappear

How much can the floor hold

Before it all runs clear

Chorus

Skin and salt, we trade the heat

Skin and salt, beneath our feet

Skin and salt, the body's prayer

Skin and salt, dissolved in air

Verse

Crowd breathes like a single lung now

Chest to chest, no gap, no name

Salt crust glows under the strobe light

Every drop replays the same

Nobody keeps what they were holding

Palms let go without a sound

Floor drinks deep what we surrender

Circling back from underground

Pre-Chorus

How much of me can leave me

Before I disappear

How much can the floor hold

Before it all runs clear

Chorus

Skin and salt, we trade the heat

Skin and salt, beneath our feet

Skin and salt, the body's prayer

Skin and salt, dissolved in air

Bridge

What leaves the skin returns as light

Rising off the crowded floor

Salt turns to steam, steam to sky

We give it up to feel it pour

Chorus

Skin and salt, we trade the heat

Skin and salt, beneath our feet

Skin and salt, the body's prayer

Skin and salt, dissolved in air
