Thicker

Lyrics

Verse 1
Same last name
Same old knife
Smile at the table
Twist it in my side
"Family first"
’til the bills come due
You chose your mirror
I chose my crew

Pre-Chorus
Blood on the floor
You just watched it drip
They threw me a rope
You tightened your grip
So who’s my circle
Who gets my trust
Those who guard my back
Or those who turn to dust

Chorus
Wine is thicker
Thicker than that bitter blood
Poured in a chipped glass
Laughing in the flood
We toast to the ones
Who fight when it gets rough
Wine is thicker
Yeah
That’s my kind of love (hey!)

Verse 2
You share my face
They share my scars
You hid the bruise
They raised the alarm
You sold my secrets
For a little praise
They burned their fingers
Pulling me from flames

Pre-Chorus
Who stayed sharp
When the room turned cold
Who talked loud truth
When the lies got sold
Who drew a line
Told the dark "come try"
Guard dogs grinning
With a gleam in their eyes (woah)

Chorus
Wine is thicker
Thicker than that bitter blood
Stories on the table
Spilling like a flood
We dance on the edge
Dare the world to push
Wine is thicker
And wilder than that rush

Bridge
Raise it up
(for the mad ones)
For the fierce ones
(with the bad puns)
Who roast me hard
Then ride at dawn
Who drag me higher
When my fire’s gone

Chorus
Wine is thicker
Thicker than that bitter blood
Sweeter than the comfort
Of a silent shrug
I’ll bet my name
On the ones who bleed for fun
Wine is thicker
Those are my chosen ones
