Sidekick Lyrics by Iceboy Violet, Nueen

You Said You’d Hold My Hand Through the Fire

2024

I wish I didn't let you play the hero
Our building burning, I stood here frozen up
Holding onto what was holding up
We barely staggered out the blaze before the place folded up
Back into the landscape, black and grey
The place flattened like greasy paper plates, post-festival
The blues briefly satiated by beautiful dusk
A cutie tried to hit me with the cocoa butter uppercut, but
Tough love only love if it heals you 'cause
Wrap my hands in ink soaked bandages
Practised my guard, I keep it up
Still knowing only open palms can be receiving love
Maybe the burn scars don't heal if they're deep enough
Peaks and valleys in my flesh, tectonic shifts in my rough
Smoke in my lungs, smoke in my lungs
I'm licking my wounds, coughing toxic up
When I'm done I can speak sweeter stuff
Blood on my tongue, blood on my tongue
Maybe the burn scars don't heal if they're deep enough
Peaks and valleys in my flesh tectonic shifts in my rough
Smoke in my lungs, smoke in my lungs
I'm licking my wounds, coughing toxic up
When I'm done I can speak sweeter stuff
Blood on my tongue, blood on my tongue
I smelled it before it started, the whole place darkened
The sun blocked out black marker
The smoke wrote, "Goodbye for now," on the horizon
Sheets pulled over our heads at midnight
But the ghost stories weren't funny this time
You named it the second you realised
Like flames had sprung from your tongue, like pain had caught alight
Like yesterday's patience had grown thin and it came to reclaim the light
Our house burning, turning to dust in front of our eyes
You grabbed the photos, grabbed the cash
I grabbed the house and held on tight
Maybe the burn scars don't heal if they're deep enough
Peaks and valleys in my flesh, tectonic shifts in my rough
Smoke in my lungs, smoke in my lungs
I'm licking my wounds, coughing toxic up
When I'm done I can speak sweeter stuff
Blood on my tongue, blood on my tongue
Maybe the burn scars don't heal if they're deep enough
Peaks and valleys in my flesh tectonic shifts in my rough
Smoke in my lungs, smoke in my lungs
I'm licking my wounds, coughing toxic up
When I'm done I can speak sweeter stuff
Blood on my tongue
