“Substance” is the second track off the Blissville EP by Cold Hart & Rawska, released on January 31st, 2020.
This song is about viewing love as a drug, how it’s become an addiction even through the pain and heartbreak.
[Intro: Cold Hart]
Cold Hart, baby, mh
And my heart's full of havoc
And my hands gotta have it, oh
[Chorus: Cold Hart]
Tell me what comes after (Who knows?)
All the tears and the laughter (Yeah, who knows)
Just a beautiful disaster (Oh-oh-oh)
Spend it like it don't matter (Like it don't fucking matter)
So addicted to damage (To damage)
And my heart full of havoc (I hate it)
And my arms gotta have it (I don't know why)
But your heart made of plastic, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1: Rawska]
Standin' in the street and my emotions intervene
I didn't want to show mercy
You're the one who's incomplete
I left you everything, 'cept apologies
My bones are weakening from atrophy
This love is lacking substance
My heart can't even function
This love is lacking substance
My heart can't even function
[Chorus: Cold Hart]
Tell me what comes after (Who knows?)
All the tears and the laughter (Yeah, who knows)
Just a beautiful disaster (Oh-oh-oh)
Spend it like it don't matter (Like it don't fucking matter)
So addicted to damage (To damage)
And my heart full of havoc (I hate it)
And my arms gotta have it (I don't know why)
But your heart made of plastic, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2: Cold Hart]
Another night, another dream but never you
Another night, another substance to abuse
My favorite night out, now it's a night in (A night in)
And, girl, those eyes look tired of sleepin' (S-s-slatt)
Ayy, been tryna right my wrongs for so long
And I'ma change my ways, just hold on
But I keep wakin' up when the sun gone
And I ain't tryna wake up if you gone (Gone)
