Lyrics
Don’t cool me down Dry in the throat, sparks in the teeth Black on the cuffs, dirt under grief Wire in the wall, heat in the pipe Whole room bent mean when I walked inside No water left in the bucket or vein No clean exit, no shelter from stain Rust on the latch, smoke in the vent I don’t break loud — I just get intent No water left — just fire in the chest If it wants a softer man, it ain’t got one yet Only nerve, only flame, only what won’t bend No water left, and I’m still standin’ in it Crack in the tile, blood in the grin Low light flicker and a hard wind in Cold men talk when the room feels safe I make silence sweat when I enter a place Ash in the glass, red on the nail Truth got teeth when the mercy fails Lean on luck if you need that crutch I got one hard stare and it’s more than enough Let it burn slow Let it show What survives when the comfort goes No water left — just fire in the chest If it wants a softer man, it ain’t got one yet Only nerve, only flame, only what won’t bend No water left, and I’m still standin’ in it I quit waitin’ on relief Quit dressin’ ruin up as peace If the night wants proof, come and collect I’m the last bad thing it hasn’t killed yet No water left — just fire in the chest If it wants a softer man, it ain’t got one yet Only nerve, only flame, only what won’t bend No water left, and I’m still standin’ in it Still hot Still here
