LYRICS:
Verse:
This is insulation for the night cold
a cigarette and a drink to lacquer over bones
you either kindle the blood or shiver yourself warm
and the precipice of joyous madness calls in me.
Aren’t we ecstatic as we dance along it?
blunting the time-sharpened edge of neuroses
nullification, vivification –
tantamount powers at a stalemate in me
Chorus:
Aren’t we ecstatic as we all dance along it?
– our wet precipice
(pour a drink and take a seat beside me)
to each their own perspective, each their own vice
and i’ve made up my mind.
Pour up a drink, take a seat with me
and we’ll flood out everything
you need someone, and i give a fuck
so let’s give those demons wings
Verse 2:
and regardless of the way that the pendulum swings
i’ve come to realise that it’s okay to believe
that life is nothing but a vertiginous dream
– and that’s all i’ve ever wanted it to be
breaking my own heart to feel the love
like the love of one’s youth, that makes you jump and run
you either kindle the blood or shiver yourself warm,
so bring it back, raise your voice, put your glass to your lips and drink
Bridge:
You’re stronger than addiction
stronger than even bereavement
my friend i’ve seen it
and our vigils, pickled in whiskey
are preserved eternally in my enduring memory.
