Black ice

In your wake
If the winter's where I'll go, then I have a feeling I'll stay
My mouth is dried out and my tongue won't even sway

Selling my soul would be easier if I could find it
Get too close to the whirlpool, you'll be trapped inside it
As far as messes go, you know that I've been worse
Lick your lips, that nicotine you know it's laced with a curse
And every breath you take seems to lacerate your fucking lungs
Break me down, what you'll find, that's not me, what's inside
Crush me, hold me, light me up
Take me in you've had enough

Swept away, spiraling
(I swear)
I've been lost in the wake for far too long
Now it's all just a memory
(All alone)
A slowly fading fever dream
Nobody told me how it feels on the way down
Well it's hopelessness
I've hit the ground, in your wake
(In your wake)

Climb, climb, crawl if you can
Chase it, own it, find a way to stand
Guilty and ashamed, coursing through your veins
Souless in a haze
You won't come back the same

Oh I get the feeling that I'm too far gone
My visions failing and I've lost control
And I've been lost your wake for too long
I feel some kind of way, wipe the blood off the floor
(Lost in your wake)

Don't be afraid, you know that I feel it too
In the darkest place the road still leads back to you
Now I'm slipping on the black ice
If you could see, if you could only taste my fear
And there's not one thing that I dont cherish
But I found romance in insanity
I'm more toxic than the vice that saves you
You were the worst comedown I've ever felt
And every impulse that I try to strangle poisons me

Swept away, spiraling
(I swear)
I've been lost in the wake for far too long
Now it's all just a memory
(All alone)
A slowly fading fever dream
Nobody told me how it feels on the way down
Well it's hopelessness
I've hit the ground, in your wake
(In your wake)
