[Song Liquid Courage] [Theme: Self-Destruction as a distraction]. [Intro] (Reverberating guitar riff) (Sound of ice clinking in a glass) (Deep, distorted bass pulse heartbeat) [Female]: (Sultry whisper) Yeah, it’s Navy blue in here... [Male]: (Distant) I can’t breathe in here... (Lighter flick) [Verse 1 - Female] Three A.M. and the shadows getting longer Thought the pain would leave, but it’s only getting stronger Poured a double shot just to quiet down the thunder How much of this weight can a girl stay under? [Verse 1 - Male] I’m pouring doubles just to match your energy You’re the poison, you’re the remedy, you’re killing me I’m a king without a throne, just a castle made of glass Watching every second of our history pass. [Pre-Chorus - Both] (Hi-hats start rolling rapidly) And I’m sinking, I’m sinking deep Promises that you couldn’t keep Now the rhythm is the only thing I feel Trying to figure out if any of this was real. [Chorus - Both (Harmonizing)] Pour the poison ‘til the room starts spinning Losing my mind but I feel like I’m winning [Female]: (Ooh-na-na) The 808s drown out the sound of the rain [Male]: I’m self-medicating just to kill all the pain [Both]: One more glass, one more lie Watching the stars fall out of the sky Yeah, I’m chasing it... Yeah, I’m wasting it. [Verse 2 - Male] (Aggressive 808s) Glass shattered on the hardwood floor I don’t even know what I’m fighting for Label on the bottle says "poison" on the label But I’m still sitting here, across from you at the table. [Verse 2 - Female] Throw a brick through the window of the memories Now I’m sleeping with my ghosts and my enemies You call it love, I call it a prison cell I’m a bad girl, can’t you tell? [Bridge - Both] (808s cut out, only melancholic guitar) [Female]: Don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming [Male]: Don’t tell me you hear me screaming [Both]: The silence is loud... (The silence is loud) (Drum fill: Snare rolls into heavy drop) [Verse 3 - Both (Fast Trading)] [Male]: One more glass before the sun comes up. [Female]: (Bajan inflection) Dere's a hole in de bottom of my golden cup. [Male]: You’re the ghost in the hallway. [Female]: You’re the "no" in the "always." [Outro] (Melodic humming - soulful alto) [Male]: I’m chasing it... [Female]: (Fading) Ooh-na-na... wasting it... (Heavy 808 stays for 8 bars) (Final guitar chord rings out)
