Crying, Curling & Ketamine (Country-Pop Mix)

[Verse 1]
Well I signed my name on a clipboard
At the edge of the frozen floor
With a heart like a busted snowbank
And a body keepin’ score

There’s a broom in the corner laughin’
There’s a stone out on the sheet
There’s a ghost in the overhead lights
Sayin’, boy, just take your seat

[Female Harmony Response]
Easy now, easy now
Let the old ice sing somehow

[Verse 2]
I came here lookin’ for silence
But the banjo found the wound
And the fiddle bent the rafters
Like a prayer out of tune

The skip said, “Let it travel”
The sweepers cried, “Not yet”
And every mile I carried
Started slidin’ from my chest

[Chorus]
Crying, curling, and ketamine
Northern lights on the mezzanine
Sweep it slow, let the old stones gleam
I’m not gone, I’m in between

Crying, curling, and ketamine
Wasi River runnin’ underneath
Hold the line, let the hurt be seen
Crying, curling, and ketamine

[Verse 3]
There’s no trophy for survivin’
No plaque above the bar
Just a man in rental grippers
Tryin’ not to fall apart

But the ice don’t ask your story
And the house don’t call your bluff
It just waits there in the circle
Till you finally give enough

[Female Harmony Response]
Let it slide, let it spin
Let the thaw come walkin’ in

[Bridge]
And I saw Dad by the scoreboard
With his coat still zipped up tight
Said, “You don’t have to fix it, son
Just make it through tonight”

Then the ceiling turned to river
And the river turned to sky
And the stone I thought would crush me
Rolled gently by

[Final Chorus]
Crying, curling, and ketamine
Northern lights on the mezzanine
Sweep it slow, let the old stones gleam
I’m not gone, I’m in between

Crying, curling, and ketamine
Wasi River runnin’ underneath
Hold the line, let the hurt be seen
Crying, curling, and ketamine

[Outro]
Easy now, easy now
Let the old ice sing somehow
Easy now, easy now
I am still here somehow
