[Verse 1]
Face in the ocean
Can’t see the bottom
Just glare
News screen dripping like poison
Every headline dares me to care
Suit on the screen keeps smiling
Teeth too bright for the truth
Selling storms as sunshine
While they auction off our youth
[Chorus]
Fire and water
Burn and drown at the same time
Chasing a dollar
System cracks right through my spine
Dreams on the table
Dealer rigs the game
I choke
Fire and water
Loaded gun floating in smoke
[Verse 2]
Bottle on the counter half empty
Half full of the things I won’t say
Liquid courage
Liquid coffin
Same sip
Different day
Paper promises piling
Stamped with a counterfeit hope
They preach clean hands on Sunday
Monday they tighten the rope
[Bridge]
Every late-night plan
Turned to ash on the floor
Thought I’d kick down doors
Now I’m staring at the doorframe
Sore
Breath tastes like metal and blame
Lungs fill heavy as stone
Dreams of success flicker faint
Like a match in a hurricane
Alone
[Chorus]
