Skin and Current

Intro

Skin remembers what my name forgot

Verse

Off the street and onto the floor

Every step erases what it was before

Strangers moving to a rhythm we don't know

Same pulse running through the room, same slow burn low

Pre-Chorus

Hands up high where the ceiling bends

Forget who I was in the beginning

Something older than my name is calling

Follow the current, forget the wall we're walking

Chorus

Skin and current, skin and current

Current runs deeper than the names they gave us

We don't need yesterday to know what tomorrow's made of

Skin and current, skin and current

Every heartbeat breaking through every name I've ever had

Skin and current, let it go

Verse 2

Glass and light refracting into gold

Nobody counting how much older we grow

The floor becomes a river and I let the low end pull me in

Something in my chest keeps singing what I never learned to sing

Pre-Chorus

Hands up high where the ceiling bends

Forget who I was in the beginning

Something older than my name is calling

Follow the current, forget the wall we're walking

Chorus

Skin and current, skin and current

Current runs deeper than the names they gave us

We don't need yesterday to know what tomorrow's made of

Skin and current, skin and current

Every heartbeat breaking through every name I've ever had

Skin and current, let it go

Bridge

No clock on this wall now

Nothing left but the pull of the sound

I was built for names in a world outside this door

But the bassline knows me better than my own mother did before

Chorus

Skin and current, skin and current

Current runs deeper than the names they gave us

We don't need yesterday to know what tomorrow's made of

Skin and current, skin and current

Every heartbeat breaking through every name I've ever had

Skin and current, let it go
