Toward the Wire

Verse

Fingers numb from the same cold rail

Breath comes short where the low end trails

Shoulder blades ache, but the floor stays true

Night lets go of what's left in you

Palms gone pale from the strobe's slow burn

Hips still moving, learning to turn

Chest caves in where the bass has been

Dawn is pressing on your skin

Pre-Chorus

Let the ache lift where the grey turns gold

Let the warmth in, stop the cold

Turn your face where the sky ignites

Give the dark up, take the light

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Hold the heat

Skin against sunrise

Steady feet

Arms wide open

Head hangs back

Skin against sunrise

Nothing you lack

Verse

Knees gone soft from the same slow grind

Eyes half shut but the light's easy to find

Sweat runs cool where the wind cuts through

Body remembers what the mind never knew

Heartbeat drops where the kick lets go

Blood runs warm in the afterglow

Toes uncurl on the dew-wet ground

Sunrise finds you without a sound

Pre-Chorus

Let the ache lift where the grey turns gold

Let the warmth in, stop the cold

Turn your face where the sky ignites

Give the dark up, take the light

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Hold the heat

Skin against sunrise

Steady feet

Arms wide open

Head hangs back

Skin against sunrise

Nothing you lack

Bridge

Not the drink, not the drug, not the beat you chase

Just the warmth coming back to your face

Let it climb from your throat to your crown

Let the whole tired world turn round

Chorus

Skin against sunrise

Hold the heat

Skin against sunrise

Steady feet

Arms wide open

Head hangs back

Skin against sunrise

Nothing you lack
