lyrics

the frozen rocks in our drinks
are a lot like us now
close together but cold,
tryna find out where it all went and if it's worth reeling in

pull a white rabbit or white russian up out of your hat
a couple swigs and the animal's back
and i wonder if i know you
i don't want to know you now

white as a ghost, half-invisible, you're falling like stone now
how long did you think it would be until we found out
your rusted out heart and empty shell of a self would crumble
your insides are hollow

tidal wave to the hull after a thunder clap
cruise-control ship is sinking and i'm not looking back
and i won't hold you under, but i almost hope that you drown

too much, concussion, & goodbye that's it
bourbon to bribe the boatman on the river styx
your moral compass is broken and you don't give a shit
so get lost

get lost
forget us

ladies and gentlemen for our closing act
the future definition of that county line trash
watch magnificent magician falling flat on his face
before you know it now he's disappeared
