Cold As the Crossroads

[Intro]
Whiskey warm
Eyes like ice
Bible open
Cut my ties (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Told you secrets that my mama never knew
Laid my demons on the table, right in front of you
You was smilin’ while you sharpened every lie
Kissed me on the cheek, watched a good man die
Truck keys hangin’ on a rusted nail
You was ridin’ with my friend, left a bloody trail
Phone light flashin’ like a damn blue flame
Whole town whisperin’ on my last good name
[Chorus]
Cold heart, ain’t shit left in it
You broke that boy, now the beast step in it
All this pain, I’ma drown you in it
(yeah, you did this, you did this)
Let the dark in, let the devils grin
Cross that line, now I don’t do kin
Say a prayer, I’ma curse amen
I’m cold as the crossroads, bitch, I’m gone again
[Verse 2]
Barbed wire wrapped ‘round a wedding band
Tossed that metal in the dirt like a bag of sand
You said “baby, don’t you act so cruel”
You turned love to a joke, made me die your fool
Now my smile like a headstone standin’
Every word from my mouth like a hollow cannon
You want closure? Get it from the grave
I ain’t savin’ one soul I ain’t paid to save (nah)
[Chorus]
Cold heart, ain’t shit left in it
You broke that boy, now the beast step in it
All this pain, I’ma drown you in it
(yeah, you did this, you did this)
Let the dark in, let the devils grin
Cross that line, now I don’t do kin
Say a prayer, I’ma curse amen
I’m cold as the crossroads, bitch, I’m gone again
[Bridge]
[Choir swelling, low brass hits]
Let ‘em in, let ‘em in, hear ‘em scratch my skin
Every ghost that you gave me wanna taste your sin
Heart so empty, it echo when I breathe
Southern boy turned plague you ain’t ever gon’ leave (yeah)
[Chorus]
Cold heart, ain’t shit left in it
You broke that boy, now the beast step in it
All this pain, I’ma drown you in it
(yeah, you did this, you did this)
Let the dark in, let the devils grin
Cross that line, now I don’t do kin
Say a prayer, I’ma curse amen
I’m cold as the crossroads, bitch, I’m gone again

rap, Dark orchestral trap with male vocals and a haunted gospel choir; low brass hits and stuttering hi-hats pulse under minor-key strings and tolling bells. Verses stay tight and venomous with a slow Southern drawl, 808 subs growling beneath whispered ad-libs. Chorus explodes with layered choir, distorted bass swells, and reverb-heavy claps, building into a cold, vengeful climax before dropping to a stark, echoing outro., orchestral
