[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Rain in the sink
Your name on my tongue
Like a rusted link
I held that door
You kicked it in
Now I know your touch
Is a loaded sin
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the floorboards moan
When you step near
I keep my hands on stone
To fight this fear
[Chorus]
Black water chain
Drag me down
Black water chain
Spin me around
I broke one link
But not enough
Black water chain
You still come up
[Verse 2]
Blue in the glass
Red in my eyes
You left your shadow
Under my thighs
Neon on the porch
Mud on the lace
I washed that old hurt
Still smell your trace
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the floorboards moan
When you step near
I keep my hands on stone
To fight this fear
[Chorus]
Black water chain
Drag me down
Black water chain
Spin me around
I broke one link
But not enough
Black water chain
You still come up
[Bridge]
I got a knife of truth
Under my skin
I cut that ache
So I could live
Your ghost can rattle
Your ghost can scream
I spit you out
I keep my teeth
[Final Chorus]
Black water chain
Break in two
Black water chain
I’m done with you
I broke one link
Now watch me run
Black water chain
I beat the gun
