Black Ice

lyrics

Out of the blue more like the black
What about your mothers back
Tread lightly there is a crack
In my mind that you can’t unpack

I’m the drug you were warned about
I am the inside of the way out
A woman was born to kill no doubt
You take my fall, I’m the blackout

I’m searching for solid ground
Everywhere land mines surround
I am a landmine but without a sound
Never a boom, never to be found

I am darkness of the night
Where’s your insight
You distracted but not by the light
You might fight for what’s right but that’s finite you lose sight and fright over black when it’s white hang tight I ignite but only to ghostwrite
Black black black black black black
Crack crack crack crack crack crack
You fall like a flatline
When there’s a plain warning sign
I’m a fucker by design
Don’t step on a fucking landmine
It’s time to untwine the line between doing fine and being blind
You fall over yourself and whine
Du bist klein
Grow a spine
I own mine
It’s a slippery slope
Like doing dope
To losing hope
And hanging a rope
And screaming nope
Tape open your eyelids
Be the drug kids
Don’t fall and be the one who skids
Down a mountain and digs
Their fingernails into tall tales
Finding wrong trails
Blind to what fails
Though you can’t always see through
What you gonna do
When the cold comes for you
You turn blue
You gonna hang on or succumb to
I’m a drug because I knew
Since I was young
That a barbed tongue
Fucking stung
Fuck around a find out what I’ve become
Because I am icy numb
And you can’t walk on me without getting some
But you cross the line miss the sign cause you’re dumb
You think shiny almighty will help overcome
You don’t see the danger of hum drum
I am a drug and a fuck this shit alum
