Red Licorice Fade

As we move through the city
And the lights hit us pretty
Won’t you save a little sip for me?
All my days are getting shorter
But a shots just a quarter
At the liquor store down the street
All this time I wasted
Chasing pavements
Seems a little silly now
When this bottle makes it all blur
Stand a little taller
If you wanna fade I’ll show you how
Close your eyes and smile
This only lasts for a while
Let your worries melt away
Like red licorice in May
Wash your sins in the shine of the moon
I said close your eyes and smile
Now you’re catching up to me
But you’re bluffing as I see
That you still got something eating you
Tilt your head back and freeze
‘Cause this doesn’t come with ease
There’s an art to letting go it’s true
Now don’t be complacent
Making faces
While we’re doing all we can
Say we’re
Heading to our graves
And there’s nothing left to save
We say
Yeah well sugar that’s the plan
Close your eyes and smile
This only lasts for a while
Let your worries melt away
Like red licorice in May
Wash your sins in the shine of the moon
I said close your eyes and smile
Is there anything else to do?
What else can we lose?
As time goes by with all its dread
And mothers turn their children’s heads
This isn’t rock bottom yet
Close your eyes and smile
This only last for a while
Let your worries melt away
Like red licorice in May
Wash your sins in the shine of the moon
Close your eyes and smile
This only lasts for a while
Let your worries melt away
Let your worries melt away
Let your worries melt away
Honey give into the fade
‘Cause the world has got a scary view
