Verse
Concrete cold beneath my heel
Then it warms the way old stone does
Something stirs beneath my kneecap
Marrow waking to the low hum
Dust and sweat and amber light
My spine remembers steps I never learned
Feet keep faith with something older
Floor keeps count of every turn
Pre-Chorus
Something deeper than the muscle knows this
Older than the breath I'm breathing now
Ribs unlock and let it rise up
Body bending where the bassline shows me how
Chorus
Bones remember the floor
Bones remember the floor
Every step my grandmother's shoulders
Bones remember the floor
Verse
Ankle rolls like river water
Hip finds hinge it always had
Sound moves through my thigh and shin bone
Waking up what sleeps in every joint I've had
Skull hums soft against the kickdrum
Elbow answers what the snare drum said
Every vertebra a doorway
Opening to something ancient in my head
Pre-Chorus
Something deeper than the muscle knows this
Older than the breath I'm breathing now
Ribs unlock and let it rise up
Body bending where the bassline shows me how
Chorus
Bones remember the floor
Bones remember the floor
Every step my grandmother's shoulders
Bones remember the floor
Bridge
This ground was danced before my dancing
Feet wrote prayers here long before my name
Concrete holds the weight of all of them
My body just repeats the same refrain
Same refrain, same refrain
Marrow deep, it never left this place
Chorus
Bones remember the floor
Bones remember the floor
Every step my grandmother's shoulders
Bones remember the floor
