[Verse 1]
I wake up mean in a stranger's bed
Cheap perfume and a ringing head
Hands full of ash, pockets full of lies
Another bad choice in a borrowed sky
Smoke on my tongue, glass in my brain
I keep on dancing with a loaded name
Laughing too loud, acting untied
But the beast in my chest ain't satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm slipping, I'm slipping
Down the blade
One more sip
And I fade
Mama, I know
I crossed that line
Something in me
Lost its mind
[Chorus]
Black ice choir, sing my name
Black ice choir, feed the flame
I'm going under, hard and fast
If I don't stop, I won't last
Black ice choir, hear me roar
I'm not the man I was before
[Verse 2]
Cuffed to the night with a silver chain
Neon in my veins, but it's all pain
I call your name, then I tear it down
Needle in the dark makes another sound
I kiss like a sinner, lie like a saint
Leave a trail of wreckage where I ain't
My hands keep shaking, my jaw locks tight
I see red doors in the middle of night
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm slipping, I'm slipping
Down the blade
One more hit
And I break
Mama, I know
I crossed that line
Something in me
Lost its mind
[Chorus]
Black ice choir, sing my name
Black ice choir, feed the flame
I'm going under, hard and fast
If I don't stop, I won't last
Black ice choir, hear me roar
I'm not the man I was before
[Bridge]
Hear that crack in the mirror sound?
That's me falling through the ground
Not a king, not a chosen son
Just a storm I can't outrun
Save me now or shut the door
I don't know what I fight for
I want out, I want air
I want dawn somewhere
[Final Chorus]
Black ice choir, sing my name
Black ice choir, feed the flame
I'm going under, hard and fast
If I don't stop, I won't last
Black ice choir, hear me roar
I'm not the man I was before
Black ice choir, drag me back
Pull me out of the fire black
