Black Mask Thames

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Black mask, low cap, no talk Cold step, one glance, then walk Pavement gleam where the dead ends fold Whole block move like a story told Got my name in the note they pass Got my face in the smoke and glass Used to pray for a quieter lane Now I hear that hiss when I cut through rain [Pre-Chorus] Hear that growl in the backseat Hands stay still when the cab speed One wrong move and it all tips One small spark and the whole place dips [Chorus] Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Cold air, cold air, let it breathe (let it breathe) Black mask, black mask, no sleep (no sleep) If you know the code, then you know me Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Every shadow got a mouth to feed Black mask, black mask, no peace (no peace) If you know the code, then you know me [Verse 2] Tenement steps and a rusty rail Bare floor echo in a broken stairwell Phone on mute, but the pulse on loud Too much weight when I move through town Mum said “son, keep your head straight” I kept mine down in a bad way Now the whole night reads my name Like it’s carved in the doorframe stain [Pre-Chorus] Hear that growl in the backseat Hands stay still when the cab speed One wrong move and it all tips One small spark and the whole place dips [Chorus] Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Cold air, cold air, let it breathe (let it breathe) Black mask, black mask, no sleep (no sleep) If you know the code, then you know me Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Every shadow got a mouth to feed Black mask, black mask, no peace (no peace) If you know the code, then you know me [Bridge] No crown, just weight on the chest Old sins sitting right in the flesh I seen friends fold into smoke Seen a clean run turn to a joke So I move like a flicker and fade One more step and I’m out the frame One more night and the whole thing bends When I say that line, it all descends [Chorus] Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Cold air, cold air, let it breathe (let it breathe) Black mask, black mask, no sleep (no sleep) If you know the code, then you know me Black mask, black mask, on me (on me) Every shadow got a mouth to feed Black mask, black mask, no peace (no peace) If you know the code, then you know me
