[Verse 1] In a jar of blue glass He stirred the years Counted out the drops Like he counted his fears White gloves, trembling hands A note by the sink "One sip gives youth" Was the line in ink [Pre-Chorus] But the fluid moved Like it knew his name Bit by bit It began to change What he made to heal What he made to charm Started learning How to do harm [Chorus] Drink it slow, take a sip Watch it grow, yours to keep Take a sip, drink it slow Rewrites you from below Youth on your tongue Sin in your veins Drink it slow, drink it slow You come back changed [Verse 2] He watched the pulse Under paper skin Saw the old blood fade And the black lines spin Every laugh got thin Every eye went cold The boy in the mirror Did as he was told [Pre-Chorus] Then the marrow sang With a crooked tone A new-made hunger Found a home What he called a cure What he praised as light Bore a second face In the dead of night [Chorus] Drink it slow, take a sip Watch it grow, yours to keep Take a sip, drink it slow Rewrites you from below Youth on your tongue Sin in your veins Drink it slow, drink it slow You come back changed [Bridge] He reached for the glass But the glass reached back A grin in the foam A crack in the black No saint in the test No man in the end Just a hungry shell That learned to bend [Final Chorus] Drink it slow, take a sip Watch it grow, yours to keep Take a sip, drink it slow Rewrites you from below Youth on your tongue Sin in your veins Drink it slow, drink it slow You come back changed
