Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Breathe
Rhythm begins
Dust on skin
Fire, fire within
We kept time like it owned our name
Wore our lives like borrowed flame
Built our crowns from lip to mirrors
Called the cage a holy frame
Safe enough but sleeping still
Fine enough but losing will
Then the dust leaned close to say
"There's another side of real"
Feel the latch crack in the chest
Let the old world leave a bone
If the soul was built for fire
It was never built for stone
Now the mirror breaks
[Chorus]
Mezcal and fire
Smoke on the tongue, sun in the wire
Blue agave buried in stone
Burns like a truth you already know
Mezcal and fire
Salt on the lips, dust in the wire
Smoke in the throat, wild in the chest
Taking the mask and leaving the rest
The rest, the rest
[Verse 2]
Maybe freedom isn't flight
Maybe it is clearer sight
Out here, fire takes no soul
Only what we use to hide
[Bridge]
Break the frame
Let the fire rise
[Outro]
Mezcal and fire
Mezcal and fire
Mezcal and fire
