Ice Cold Lyrics

run it back, boys
it’s didactic 
it’s white noise
counteractive
 
we say the same thing
& yet we argue
some pendulum swings
to an ambivalent muse
 
a rusted out sign
jesus loves you
landmark of mine
i drill it into
 
some folktale
i’m keeping alive
while the curtain falls
dramatic demise
 
& i might fall in love with
the next story i’m told
but i’ll never
have another
burning hot
coursing through me
 
this is water
it’s blood loss
call it a gamble
or a tight rope walk
 
you show your face
keep your eyes shut
call your own fouls
cheat your own gut
 
if i’m losing touch with
everything i once held
i wouldn’t think much of it
run on fumes
abide by nothing
 
i might have it out with
the next person i see
but i’ll never
have another 
burning hot
i run ice cold
i run ice cold
i run ice cold
