This track has cool groove. I love the keyboards and the drums and percussion. I think the guitars and the groove are Stones-y like something from the Sticky Fingers

lyrics

Starts with a rip or maybe a match
chip it away
It's never coming back
Run in a stocking a rip in a seam
Up in smoke there goes his dream

Gasoline on a lump of coal
toss a match and you're ready to roll
raises up. She fans the fire.
she fans the flames it gets much higher
the smoke starts to make her ache
but it still doesn't penetrate

can't break down
can't break down
can't break down
that firewall

In the middle of the night at the stoplight
I gave a command for you to hold my hand
I thought we started but I don't know
You went to bed clutching to that Holy Thread

I've been hoping you were joking
when you said it wasn't better than smoking

Back on task I had to ask
was it fun or just too fast
is there something that will break the code
starts to smolder and you let it burn

can't break down
can't break down
can't break down
that firewall

I've been hoping you were joking
when you said it wasn't better than smoking
