Drum Breaks - part 2

The key was never cold.
It waited.

A moment of recognition,
where memory and warmth align.
Not the door the feeling before it opens.

Lyrics// 
Ancient iron in his hand, still burnin' like fire,
Didn't offer it he just let it inspire.
I grabbed it tight, felt the heat in my veins,
Unlockin' doors to the chains, breakin' the reins.
Buried versions risin' up from the grave,
Memories I misnamed, lies I tried to save.

The wind hit my face, not new but familiar,
A part of me catchin' up, gettin' clearer.
Feels like the start, but the whisper says no,
Deeper voice callin', lettin' me know.

[Chorus – Layered Gnawa vocals, funky groove]
The key is warm, I took it, opened the door,
Dancin' through the smoke, can't ignore.
No evil, no good, just us in the head,
God is me, God is you, the livin' and dead.

Why dance? 'Cause the ache won't let me sit still,
World on my back, but I carry the thrill.
Hate turns to blanket, silence to song,
But wait twist comin', been here all along.

The key is warm... no, the key was you,
Always was, breakin' through.

Opened the door, wind caught up at last,
This end's a beginnin', forgettin' the past.
