Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) The ice is melting in a cracked plastic cup I’m staring at the ceiling, looking for an up The couch is sinking lower, eating my pride There’s nowhere left to run or to hide I strike a match and watch the sulfur flare Just a little bit of poison in the heavy air. (Chorus) And I’m leaning on the porch, drowning in the gray Washing down the memories of another wasted day With a glass in my left hand a blunt in my right I’m just burning through the bottom of a shitty night Yeah, I’m fading out of focus, losing every link Between the smoke in my lungs and the ice in my drink. (Verse 2) The neighbor’s house lit up more than most I’m raising a glass for a lonely kind of toast The liquors amber, the blunts lit bold The same old story that’s getting old Every exhale is a ghost I let go But the glass stays full and the clock moves slow. (Bridge) I don’t need the sound, I don’t need the crowd The silence in my head is getting way too loud So I’ll take another hit, and I’ll take another sip Before the whole damn world starts to lose grip. (Chorus) And I’m leaning on the porch, drowning in the gray Washing down the memories of another wasted day With a glass in my left hand a blunt in my right I’m just burning through the bottom of a shitty night Yeah, I’m fading out of focus, losing every link Between the smoke in my lungs and the ice in my drink. (Outro) Smoke and the ice... Everything's cold... Everything's burning... Just let it go. Yeah, let it go
