Black Ice
Lost in the Wake: A Haunting Journey of Descent
Lyrics
In your wake
In the aftermath of your presence
If the winter's where I'll go than I have a feeling I'll stay
If facing difficulties, I may choose to endure them
My mouth is dried out and my tongue won't even sway
Feeling dehydrated and unable to speak
Selling my soul would be easier if I could find it
Selling my soul would be simpler if I could locate it
Get too close to the whirlpool you'll be trapped inside it
Approaching danger may lead to entrapment
As far as messes go, you know that I've been worse
Despite past mistakes, acknowledging worse situations
Lick your lips that nicotine you know it's laced with a curse
Using nicotine despite knowing it carries a curse
And every breath you take seems to lacerate your Fucking lungs
Every breath seems to harm the lungs
Break me down what you'll find that's not me what's inside
Breaking down reveals what's not genuinely me
Crush me, hold me, light me up
Experience the pressure, embrace, ignite
Take me in you've had enough
Accept me; you've reached your limit
Swept away spiraling
Being overwhelmed and losing control
I've been lost in the wake for far too long
Lost in the aftermath for too long
Now it's all just a memory
Memories are all that remain
A slowly fading fever dream
A fading dream of intense emotion
Nobody told me how it feels on the way down well it's hopelessness
Describing the feeling of hopelessness on the way down
I've hit the ground in your wake
Reached the ground in the aftermath
Climb climb crawl if you can
Struggle upwards; crawl if necessary
Chase it own it find a way to stand
Pursue, own it, find a way to stand
Guilty and ashamed coursing through your veins souless in a haze
Feel guilty and ashamed, soulless in a daze
You won't come back the same
Transformation after the experience is irreversible
Oh I get the feeling that I'm too far gone
Sensation of being too far gone
My visions failing and I've lost control
Loss of vision and control
And I've been lost in your wake for too long
Long-term entanglement in the aftermath
I feel some kind of way wipe the blood off the floor
Feeling a certain way while dealing with consequences
Lost in your wake
Continued immersion in the aftermath
Lost in your wake
Reiteration of being lost in the aftermath
Don't be afraid you know that I feel it too
Assuring someone not to fear, acknowledging shared feelings
In the darkest place the road still leads back to you
Even in darkness, the path leads back to the same point
Now I'm slipping on the black ice
Symbolic slipping on dangerous ground
If you could see, if you could only taste my fear
Expressing fear that others cannot perceive
And there's not one thing that I don't cherish, but I found romance In insanity
Cherishing everything, including finding romance in madness
I'm more toxic than the vice that saves you
Claiming to be more toxic than the saving vice
You were the worst comedown I've ever felt
Describing someone as the most difficult comedown
And every impulse that I try to strangle poisons me
Struggling with impulses that harm
Swept away spiraling
Repeating the theme of being overwhelmed and losing control
I've been lost in the wake for far too long
Long-term immersion in the aftermath
Now it's all just a memory
Memories persist as a fading dream
A slowly fading fever dream
Reiteration of a fading fever dream
Nobody told me how it feels on the way down well it's hopelessness
Reflecting on the feeling of hopelessness during descent
I've hit the ground in your wake
Reaching the ground in the aftermath
In your wake
Repeating the idea of being in someone's aftermath
In your wake
-In your wake
-In your wake
-In your wake
