Lyrics:

Hook

Ash on my tongue, death in my dreams,

Cold steel heart where the soul should be,

Don’t talk to God, He don’t talk to me,

Been dead inside since twenty-three.

Verse 1

Black rain drip from the edge of my brim,

Tryna find light but it fade too dim,

World so sick, can’t cleanse my sins,

So I live by the smoke, and I die by the gin.

All black fit with the pain I’m in,

Codeine sky where the stars get dim,

Pray I don’t wake when the night cave in,

Ain’t no savin’ me, don’t pretend.

Bridge

Hear the thunder in my chest,

Every breath feel like death,

I confess, I digress,

Still the reaper never rests.

Outro

Yeah…

Let the dirt fall where it may,

If I fade, don’t call my name,

Midnight in my veins,

And I like it that way.

Lyrics:

Hook

Smoke in my lungs, blood on my teeth,

I talk to the ghosts that don’t ever leave,

Money can’t save what’s buried beneath,

I die every night just to feel some relief.

Verse 1

Cherrywood coffin, that’s my seat,

Ride through the storm with the bass on repeat,

Moonlight glare off the chrome I keep,

I been prayin’ for peace but the price too steep.

Gold grill grin with the pain inside,

All these scars just a badge of pride,

If I don’t make it out, that’s fine,

‘Cause the graveyard’s still my side of the line.

Hook

Smoke in my lungs, blood on my teeth,

I talk to the ghosts that don’t ever leave,

Money can’t save what’s buried beneath,

I die every night just to feel some relief.

Verse 2

Yeah, city lights flicker, I fade in between,

Half-dead boy with a codeine dream,

God don’t listen when I start to plead,

So I learned how to dance with the things I need.

Razor tongue, no faith, no plan,

Ink on my skin like the sins I ran,

Death on my tail but I still won’t bend,

If I go down, I go down as I am.

Outro

Yeah…

If I fade tonight, let the river take me,

This city raised me, now it crave me,

Smoke in my chest — that’s how it’ll save me.
