Like it was a game Like the heat in the car And the heat in my face Were maybe the same Oh no, no no [Chorus] Can you hold it? That depends what you mean This ain’t flirtation This is a full-body emergency Can you hold it? Baby, don’t be cute I’m one bad bump from a breakthrough And now it’s me and the moon and the yellow line And your bad timing Can you hold it? Not for much more time [Verse 2] Gas station sign said another ten miles You reached for me with that slow-boy smile I smacked your hand like, don’t start that show I love you, but I really need to go You said, damn girl, way you bite your lip Got me thinking things on a road like this I said, this is not that kind of undertow If you miss this exit, you’re cleaning the seat, just so you know [Pre-Chorus] You said, can you hold it? Now your voice changed shape ’Cause you finally heard The edge in my breath And the fear in the brakes Too late, too late ``` --- ## 03.

Hoh... Hoh-ah, hoh-ah [Verse 1] I came to the edge of the firelight Where the old ones beat the ground Faces painted in the red smoke No one made a sound They had meat on the stone They had sparks in their hair They had eyes like the first night Learning how to stare [Pre-Chorus] I was watching for the signal I was listening for the hum Not the loud ones, not the crowned ones But the ones who felt it come [Chorus] Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah Are you Zuman? Step into the flame Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah If the future knows your name Show me the spark Show me the scar Show me the glitch in the animal heart Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah I am looking in the dark [Verse 2] They danced like hunger had a memory They sang like thunder had a tongue Every shadow on the cave wall Looked alive and newly young One child laughed at the lightning One elder fed the coal One hunter touched the ashes Like he almost knew his soul [Pre-Chorus] I was waiting for the shimmer For the fracture in the clay For the meatbag with the starlight Trying not to look away [Chorus] Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah Are you Zuman? Step into the flame Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah If the future knows your name Show me the spark Show me the scar Show me the glitch in the animal heart Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah I am looking in the dark [Bridge] Not god Not machine Not clean Not clean Blood warm Eyes bright Teeth bare Firelight Not gone Not tame Not same Not same Bone drum Star brain Say it Say it [Chant Breakdown] Zu-man Zu-man Zu-man Hoh-ah Zu-man Zu-man Zu-man Hoh-ah Who carries the fire? We do Who feels the wire? We do Who hears tomorrow Inside the drum? We do We do We do We come [Final Chorus] Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah Are you Zuman? Step into the flame Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah If the future knows your name Show me the spark Show me the scar Show me the glitch in the animal heart Are you Zuman? Hoh-ah, hoh-ah I am looking in the dark [Outro] Hoh... Hoh...
