Skin and Concrete lyrics
Verse
Soles flat on the warm concrete
Floor still holding yesterday's heat
Every crack a vein of light
Feeding upward through my feet
Palms down, pressed to the grain
Texture reading like a second skin
Every grain a thousand footsteps
Told me where to let it in
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rising through the arches
Feel it climbing through my knees
Concrete keeps the heat of bodies
Long after they leave
Chorus
Skin and concrete, same temperature
Skin and concrete, holding heat
Skin and concrete, we're the current
Skin and concrete, under my feet
Verse
Knees bend low to touch the floor
Cool at the edges, warm at the core
Sweat drops down and joins the surface
Water finding water more
Every dancer left a print
Layered deep beneath the sound
I add mine here, then lift it
Nothing wasted on the ground
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rising through the arches
Feel it climbing through my knees
Concrete keeps the heat of bodies
Long after they leave
Chorus
Skin and concrete, same temperature
Skin and concrete, holding heat
Skin and concrete, we're the current
Skin and concrete, under my feet
Bridge
The floor was poured before I got here
It'll stay warm after I'm gone
Bodies come and pass their heat down
The concrete carries it on
Chorus
Skin and concrete, same temperature
Skin and concrete, holding heat
Skin and concrete, we're the current
Skin and concrete, under my feet
