Black Ice Anthem

Black ice shining

where the streetlamp bends

I breathe slow, still here,

again

If I slip, I get up,

no friends to impress

We

survive the night, keep our edge (oh-oh)

After midnight, it get quiet but it ain't safe

I keep my coat tight,

talk low, same face

No big stories, just the block and the pace

I watch the corners like a habit I can't shake (mm)

Hold your balance when the road look clean

Every good day

got a thin ice sheen

I don't talk tough,

I just move unseen

One step steady

to the next one,

mean (yeah)

Black ice shining

where the streetlamp bends

I breathe slow, still here,

again

If I slip, I get up,

no friends to impress

We

survive the night, keep our edge (oh-oh)

I seen the smiles fade quick

at the stoplight

So I keep my prayers short

and my grip tight

If you know, you know—

it don't feel right

But I'm still standing

here

in the cold white (uh) (ahhhh)

Black ice shining

where the streetlamp bends

I breathe slow,

still here, again

If I slip, I get up,

no friends to impress

We

survive the night, keep our edge (oh-oh)

In the calm I can hear my heartbeat knock Every wrong turn

still taught me how to walk I don't need a crown,

I just need that spark Morning coming,

but I'm still in the dark (ooh)

Black ice shining

where the streetlamp bends

I breathe slow, still here,

again

If I slip, I get up,

no friends to impress

We

survive the night, keep our edge (oh-oh) (oh-oh)
