Verse
Dust on the floorboards, heel raw and low
Ribs pull tight where the thin light goes
Shoulder blade leans on the cool concrete
Night lets go slow, doesn't rush the heat
Palms find the ledge where the sun climbs in
Pulse drops down to a hush, to a thin
Thread of breath pulled long through the frame
Doorway holds you, half sun, half shade
Pre-Chorus
Let the wall take what your knees can't hold
Let the light cross the threshold slow
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Press it in
Skin against sunrise
Feel it begin
Skin against sunrise
Let it in
Skin against sunrise
Under your skin
Verse
Throat tilts open where the horn line bends
Elbows loosen, the holding ends
Sweat cools slow on the back of your neck
Sun climbs higher, no need to check
Feet flat down on the warming stone
Weight moves through you, settling in bone
Chest lifts up where the low end used to press
Light replaces what the dark confessed
Pre-Chorus
Let the floor take what your feet can't hold
Let the day cross the threshold slow
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Press it in
Skin against sunrise
Feel it begin
Skin against sunrise
Let it in
Skin against sunrise
Under your skin
Bridge
No more counting what the night cost you
Just the frame, the light coming through
Doorway wide, the dark stepped back
Skin holds proof of everything you lack
Chorus
Skin against sunrise
Press it in
Skin against sunrise
