Lantern Solstice (Version 3)

Verse

Salt on the lip like a word you can't say

Knees on the floor where the bassline lay

Hands to the ceiling, palms open wide

Give what the body was keeping inside

Elbows unlock, let the shoulders bow

Something in you kneeling right now

Breath goes ragged, chest goes bare

Skin turns to offering, damp on the air

Pre-Chorus

Let the salt run down like rain

Let the ache turn into gain

Empty out to fill back up

Pour the body like a cup

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising off the skin

Sweat becomes prayer

Let it start again

Sweat becomes prayer

Body bows down low

Sweat becomes prayer

This is how we know

Verse

Backbone curling toward the sound

Hips keep asking, feet stay bound

Wrists gone loose like the grip let go

Water leaving the only way it knows

Throat tipped open, taking the air

Every muscle saying a prayer

Fingers spreading, reaching through

Body speaking the only tongue it knew

Pre-Chorus

Let the salt run down like rain

Let the ache turn into gain

Empty out to fill back up

Pour the body like a cup

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising off the skin

Sweat becomes prayer

Let it start again

Sweat becomes prayer

Body bows down low

Sweat becomes prayer

This is how we know

Bridge

No altar, no stone

Just heat and bone

No temple, no name

Just the body in flame

Nothing to hold

Nothing to owe

Just let it go

Just let it go

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Rising off the skin

Sweat becomes prayer

Let it start again

Sweat becomes prayer

Body bows down low

Sweat becomes prayer

This is how we know
