Verse
Concrete wall grinds my shoulder blade
Thousand bodies, one abrasion made
Friction counts what the floor removes
Layer by layer, the protocol proves
Palm against palm wears the print away
Nothing left to swipe or say
Skin turns dust in the strobe light haze
Surface thins with every phase
Pre-Chorus
How many layers till the bone shows through
How much of me gets ground into you
Chorus
Erosion protocol
Skin down to none
Erosion protocol
We grind as one
Verse
Chrome rail polished by a thousand wrists
Nothing personal survives the grip
Elbows sand the edges flat
Crowd remembers where the skin was at
Pressure builds where the bodies meet
Concrete rises through the soles of my feet
Dust in the air is all that's mine
Particles blur into one design
Pre-Chorus
How many layers till the bone shows through
How much of me gets ground into you
Chorus
Erosion protocol
Skin down to none
Erosion protocol
We grind as one
Bridge
Grind
Thin
Blur
Gone
Dust
Rise
None
Left
Chorus
Erosion protocol
Skin down to none
Erosion protocol
We grind as one
