Sweat, Skin, Salvation (Version 2)

Verse

Salt on my shoulders, tracing rivers

Heat climbs up from the concrete floor

Every drop I give the rhythm

Comes back to me, asking for more

Feet forget the weight they carry

Hips find water where the bass has been

Skin turns loose like something molten

I'm shedding what I walked in

Pre-Chorus

Something opens under my ribs

Salt and heat, they pull me through

Floor keeps rising to meet my feet

I don't know where I end, where the crowd is you

Chorus

Sweat on skin is salvation

Sweat on skin is salvation

Let it pour, let it pour, let it pour

Sweat on skin is salvation

Verse

Light comes low across wet faces

Strangers glisten like river stone

Nobody counting the hours passing

Time dissolved in the four-on-four

Palms turn slick against the shoulder

Bodies trading the heat they hold

Salt keeps writing across our collars

Proof we melted, proof we let go

Pre-Chorus

Something opens under my ribs

Salt and heat, they pull me through

Floor keeps rising to meet my feet

I don't know where I end, where the crowd is you

Chorus

Sweat on skin is salvation

Sweat on skin is salvation

Let it pour, let it pour, let it pour

Sweat on skin is salvation

Bridge

No robe for this, just the wet shirt

No altar here, just the low end

Salt is the only scripture

Written and rinsed, written again

Chorus

Sweat on skin is salvation

Sweat on skin is salvation

Let it pour, let it pour, let it pour

Sweat on skin is salvation
