A Nice Potion

[Verse 1]
I drank it down too fast
From a glass with a green-blue skin
Sweet on the tongue
Then it bit back in
My hands went cold
My shoes felt wrong
The room leaned close
And stayed too long
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the walls breathe slow
And my name bends thin
I can hear that fizz
Under my skin
I took too much
From your shaking hand
Now I’m half awake
In a sinking land
[Chorus]
A nice potion
Gone too far
A nice potion
Now I’m split apart
A nice potion
(too much, too much)
A nice potion
Don’t let go of me now
[Verse 2]
Blackbird shadows crawl
Up the yellow sink
My pulse hits hard
Then I lose the link
Your face drifts by
Like a torn-up card
I laugh one beat
Then I crash too hard
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air tastes bright
Like a razor line
My teeth won’t settle
My bones all shine
I drank the cure
And I fed the flame
Now the whole dark room
Is calling my name
[Chorus]
A nice potion
Gone too far
A nice potion
Now I’m split apart
A nice potion
(too much, too much)
A nice potion
Don’t let go of me now
[Bridge]
If I come back
Pull me through
Say my name
Like you used to do
The floor turns blue
Then fades to red
I’m in the door
I’m in the thread
[Chorus]
A nice potion
Gone too far
A nice potion
Now I’m split apart
A nice potion
(too much, too much)
A nice potion
Don’t let go of me now
