[Intro — distorted radio / whispered] Static in the signal... Heartbeat accelerating... Cyberware online... Yeah. [Verse 1] Blacktop shining underneath the rain Chrome reflection staring back again Neon bleeding through my tinted glass Hit the throttle—watch the whole world pass Got a little danger underneath my skin Every upgrade makes me want it again They said, "Slow down, you're gonna lose control" I said, "That's the only way I know" [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it in my bloodstream Electric underneath my bones Every warning says I'm going too deep But I don't wanna go home [Chorus — explosive] BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Neon running through my brain I don't feel the fear anymore I don't play by the rules BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Chrome running through my frame If I crash, let the city know I went out in flames [Backing vocals — airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... Black ice... [Verse 2] Purple lights flicker on my face Every shadow wants to take my place I got demons hiding in the code And a thousand different ways to overload Redline screaming like a warning shot Temperature rising but I won't stop If the city wants to see me break Then I'm giving it everything it takes [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it in my bloodstream Electric underneath my bones Every warning says I'm going too deep But I don't wanna go home [Chorus — heavier] BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Neon running through my brain I don't feel the fear anymore I don't play by the rules BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Chrome running through my frame If I crash, let the city know I went out in flames [Post-Chorus — glitch / chopped vocal] Black—black—black ice Run it through the system Black—black—black ice No, I never listen [Verse 3 — darker] I see the city through a violet haze Everybody's selling pieces of their soul these days I don't need a god, I don't need a cure Give me one more upgrade and I'll become immortal Maybe I'm addicted to the speed Maybe I'm addicted to the bleed Maybe there's nothing left to save Maybe I'm exactly what they made [Bridge — stripped / sinister] Can you hear the engine screaming? Can you feel the static? Can you see the lights? They're getting closer... Too late to turn back now. [Beat drop] RUN IT. [Final Chorus — massive] BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Neon running through my brain I don't feel the fear anymore I don't play by the rules BLACK ICE IN MY VEINS Chrome running through my frame If I crash, let the city know I went out in flames BLACK ICE! No brakes! BLACK ICE! No chains! If the city wants a monster— I'LL GIVE IT ONE. [Outro — fading radio static] Cyberware... Overheating... Warning... Warning... [Airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... [Whisper] Too late.
