Ice Cubes

(album: The Avant-Garden - 2018)

Drawing out the residue, whiskey from his ice cubes
Use it to entice you
Kissing on my pedestal, don't I got a nice view?
Show me what them eyes do

No the bad guys don't seem so bad over the phone
We trade notes and I gloat when they take me as their own
Unmask and kick back while skin replace the stone
I ain't gotta play good no more, no-no-no
Uptight, seeking a loosie and some love
Loose canon wishing someone call his bluff
Still he my type, digging 'cause I'm buttoned up
But I ain't got to play good no more, no-no-no

Drawing out the residue, whiskey from his ice cubes
Use it to entice you
Kissing on my pedestal, don't I got a nice view?
Show me what them eyes do

You know it's all about the eyes, ooh
Nothing more insightful
She don't gotta speak, I just read her, she an eyeful
She an eyeful
My syllables, they stifle
My cool, it go and spiral
Senses become primal
Four more days in LA, then I'm catching a flight
Not sure why it isolate, craving the East side
Jersey party with no list, that shit more my vibe
If I'm shy, I'm just tryin to analyze
All the lost kids
They all taking tabs like they tidbits
Like they just a taste test
For the real high we derive from the risk, it's
Drawing out the night and it's looking kinda sus
Red flags on my map yeah they add that extra umf
Artifacts from the night, bottle caps so I keep up
Yeah my pockets getting heavy so I think you've had enough

Drawing out the residue, whiskey from his ice cubes
Use it to entice you
Kissing on my pedestal, don't I got a nice view?
Show me what them eyes do

Ain't popping no bars, but damn, I got plenty
They all think they up to par, feel like I heard it already
Nothing up to caliber, still expect confetti
Fuck a yes man, I'm attentive, criticism is ready
I don't blindly eat, I pick apart and I study
Never cover my tracks, yeah, I leave my hands bloody
No topic too taboo, no conversation too touchy
Wish I could put up a front, but darling, you ain't that lucky

Drawing out the residue, whiskey from his ice cubes
Use it to entice you
Kissing on my pedestal, don't I got a nice view?
Show me what them eyes do
