Rolling with the Grim Reaper

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

Seat leaned back, eyes deeper

Ash on my jeans, cold ether

Black smoke twist in the heater

He said, "You scared?"

I said, "Been there"

One foot in the dark

One hand on the stair

Tongue like a blade

Mind like a fever

Every puff gone gray

Still I move cleaner

Bones in the backseat

Thorns in the seams

I been haunting my own

Half-lit dreams

Pale face grin

Like he knows my name

Every road I take

Ends in the same place

Still I laugh at the edge

Still I talk back

Still I burn slow

On a midnight track

Falling deeper

Feet in the mud

Hear that choir

Calling my blood

No turning back now

Doors got sealed

If I go under

Let it be real

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

I fall, I fall deeper

I fall, I fall deeper

Smoke rise higher

Choir in the dark (in the dark)

Hold me tighter

As I lose my spark

Hear that choir in the stone

Calling me home

He ain’t letting go

I’m already low

Grim Reaper ride

Grim Reaper ride

Smoke in my lungs

Cold in my spine

Grim Reaper ride

Grim Reaper ride

If I fall tonight

I fall in time

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

Black coat, cracked smile, deep sleeper

Ash on my lap, no visa

Whole crew cold, we don't need ya

Smoke in the chapel, thin and gray

I lost a year in a single day

Bones on the dash, hands stay steady

Say my name, I was never ready

He said, "Keep up," I said, "Bet"

Street got slick from the blood and sweat

Moon in the glass, teeth all chipped

I been half gone since the first time I slipped

Cemetery wind through my hoodie strings

Cold little prayers in forgotten things

Names on the stone, same dirt, same rain

I kept my grin through the bruise and pain

Reaper got jokes, but his eyes don't blink

Gave me one sip from the blackened drink

Now every step got a hollow tone

Every backseat feels like a throne

I seen saints with a crooked aim

I seen wolves try to wear my name

If the end got a mouth, let it speak

I've been dancing with it all week

Falling deeper

Feet in the mud

Hear that choir

Calling my blood

No turning back now

Doors got sealed

If I go under

Let it be real

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

Rolling with the Grim Reaper

I fall, I fall deeper

I fall, I fall deeper

Smoke rise higher

Choir in the dark (in the dark)

Hold me tighter

As I lose my spark

Hear that choir in the stone

Calling me home

He ain’t letting go

I’m already low

Grim Reaper ride

Grim Reaper ride

Smoke in my lungs

Cold in my spine

Grim Reaper ride

Grim Reaper ride

If I fall tonight

I fall in time

No crown, no prayer

Just my shadow and him

White eyes on the dash

And the room goes dim

I said, "Take your time"

He said, "Brother, I know"

Then the dark moved close

And the whole world slowed

Hush now, the night knows

Hush now, the night knows

I wore my ruin like a crown

Till the whole sky leaned down

If my heart turns to dust tonight

Let the bassline bury my fight
