[Verse 1]
Sick of biting back loose lips
Face first with a stiff fist
Can't blink or I'll be tricked
I'm gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Suck on a loose drip from a hole in a steel grip
Flap my lips like elastic, like a bad trip on acid
High like a misfit, I'm primed like a kill switch
Gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
Gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
Gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
[Chorus]
Throw me on the fire, leave me for broke
I'll get you higher, breathe in my smoke
I am the riot, the bolt in the blue
Blue, oh oh
[Verse 2]
Been the axe to your grind
For far too much time
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Oh, you're the line
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm changing the tide like a thorn in your weak side
I'll slowly bleed you dry, don't care if it's suicide
Leave my mark with a quiet bite
Gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
Gearing up to break, yeah, I'm gearing up to break
[Chorus]
Throw me on the fire, leave me for broke
I'll get you higher, breathe in my smoke
I am the riot, the bolt in the blue
Blue, oh oh
Throw me on the fire, leave me for broke
I'll get you higher, breathe in my smoke
I am the riot, the bolt in the blue
Blue, oh oh
[Bridge]
Hold on to your vicious lies
It feeds my heart
It fuels my fight
When my hands go cold
Hold on to your crooked smile
It feeds my heart
It fuels my fight
When my hands go cold
When my hands go cold
When my hands go cold
[Chorus]
Throw me on the fire, leave me for broke
I'll get you higher, breathe in my smoke
I am the riot, the bolt in the blue
Blue, oh oh
Throw me on the fire, leave me for broke
I'll get you higher, breathe in my smoke
I am the riot, the bolt in the blue
Blue, oh oh

Trump had just won the election, and I was a mess, like most other people in the country and world.
