Skin and Sanctuary lyrics
Verse
Palms open where the bassline lands
Concrete warm beneath bare soles
Every pore becomes a doorway
Heat is asking to come home
Pre-Chorus
Feel the skin forget its borders
Feel the air move through my chest
Something older than my shadow
Rising up through every breath
Chorus
Skin is the sanctuary
Body is the open door
We are burning through the boundary
Right here on the floor
Verse
Sweat runs silver down my spine
Strangers' shoulders press like prayer
Nobody's counting hours here
Time dissolves into the air
Pre-Chorus
Feel the skin forget its borders
Feel the air move through my chest
Something older than my shadow
Rising up through every breath
Chorus
Skin is the sanctuary
Body is the open door
We are burning through the boundary
Right here on the floor
Bridge
No wall left between the drum and me
No name left to hold onto
Just this pulse beneath the surface
Turning flesh to residue
Chorus
Skin is the sanctuary
Body is the open door
We are burning through the boundary
Right here on the floor
