[Verse 1]

Grocery store sushi

You're chopping ketamine with a motel room key

Like a razor on a waterslide

Surgeon seein' the scalpel sewn inside

[Chorus]

You get past the cold spot in the lake

The easy things in life keep getting harder every day

[Verse 2]

Potpourri dead smell of a stagnant creek

'Cause you ran your car into a cherry blossom tree

Rolled the tires down a muddy hill

You just keep on swimming through until

[Chorus]

You get past the cold spot in the lake

Abundant things in life keep getting fewer evеry day

[Verse 3]

A street juggalo sang us a sweet song on the porch

When we livеd downtown and whoever was near would come on up

Next week, we saw her on a poster stapled to a pole

She killed a guy and left the body laying by the road

[Outro]

Between broadways and the ramp to 23

Swimming through

'Cause to you, it's just like

Swimming through a cold spot in the lake

And the sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter every day
