Blackjack(21) Lyrics by Dryden Thomas

Waterbearer

2018

I am the solute
I am the solvent
I am a chemist’s nightmare

Equal parts fire
One part of earth
Deficient in water
Born of air

No one can stop me
No one can hurt me
No one can put me in a box

But once you have got me
Damn, you have got me
Trapped as a hunted wild fox

There is no formula to me
I have no plans or pedigree

Am I the king
Or am I the queen?
I’ll ace all the tests but take it back

I thought you were out
But now there are doubts
I’ll add up the rest and blackjack

You thought you were subtle
Here’s my rebuttal
Here’s what’s been hiding up my sleeve

I got a couple of aces
Couple of faces
Couple of places left to see

Your love is just a lottery
And none of the winnings come tax-free

But I know
The more I take
The more I lose

I am the solute
I am the solvent
I am a chemist’s nightmare

Equal parts fire
One part of earth
Deficient in water
Born of air

No one can stop me
No one can hurt me
No one can put me in a box

But once you have got me
Damn, you have got me
Trapped as a hunted wild fox

Your love is just a lottery
And none of the winnings come tax-free
The formula to make things new
Is one plus one could be twenty-two
