(Verse 1)
Ashtray mornings, bottle-bitten nights
Truth drowned deep in neon lights
I swore I’d change, but the mirror lied
Now I’m choking on the words I tried
(Pre-Chorus)
Every sip’s a sermon, every burn’s a prayer
But the answers vanish in the smoky air
(Chorus)
Whiskey filled doubt, pouring through my veins
Tastes like freedom, feels like chains
I scream in silence, I fight the fade
But I’m just a ghost in the mess I made
(Verse 2)
Barstool confessions, inked on my skin
Scars from battles I never let win
I chase the flame, I curse the cold
Trading my soul for a shot that’s bold
(Bridge)
Lightning in a glass, thunder in my chest
I wear my guilt like a bulletproof vest
No heroes here, just broken men
Writing apologies we’ll never send
(Final Chorus)
Whiskey filled doubt, it’s my lullaby
Sings me to sleep with a bloodshot sky
I’m not healed, I’m not whole
But I’m still standing—still out of control
