Black Ice Grip

Verse 1
Engine idle in the fog, windows rolled down cold
Stacking dead weight high, silver turned into coal
Step in the shadow, watch the soles hit concrete
Got a reaper on the shoulder pacing down the one-way street
No mercy in the tone, hollow sound inside the frame
Tryna clean up all the rust while they whisper out my name

Chorus
Black ice grip, sliding round the curb
Whispers in the dark, every shadow on alert
Count the red lights flashing in the rear
Cut the headlights off when the danger getting near
Black ice grip, slipping through the smoke
Hard soles scraping, never choke

Verse 2
Static in the radio, cutting through the frequency
Living in the basement of a ruined street sequency
Tied up knots on the heavy nylon pack
Leave the ghost on the stoop, ain't no turning back
Watch the ice melt slow, dripping off the chain
Everything I carry is adapted to the pain

Chorus
Black ice grip, sliding round the curb
Whispers in the dark, every shadow on alert
Count the red lights flashing in the rear
Cut the headlights off when the danger getting near
Black ice grip, slipping through the smoke
Hard soles scraping, never choke

Outro
Cut the light. Black ice. Fade it out.
