Echoes in the Bottle

[Verse 1]
Ash on the floor, but the fire’s long gone
Phone full of ghosts that don't call or respond
I chased every thrill, burned every bridge
Now I drink to the echo, sleep in the fridge

Tried to kiss God with a bottle of gin
Tried to feel love in a stranger's skin
Told myself lies with a confident grin
Now I’m watching my life through a screen again

[Hook]
I gave it all to the void
Everything I tried to avoid
Now the silence screams louder than sin
And I swear I won’t do it again
(But I will, yeah I will...)


---

[Verse 2]
Woke up to nothing but bruises and debt
The ceiling just watches, it ain't even left
I saw myself in the mirror last night
Had a stare-off with a version that wanted to fight

I said:
“You look tired, man. You look done.”
He said:
“You sold peace for a hit and a run.”
I laughed 'cause it hurt, and hurt’s all I know
I got scars that still bleed when it snows

[Bridge – Spoken Word Over Minimal Beat]
This house ain’t a home, it's a grave with a roof
Every drawer’s got a ghost, every room hides the truth
Tried to fill every crack with a sin and a shot
But the more that I add, the more that I rot


---

[Hook – Full Drop]
I gave it all to the void
Everything I tried to avoid
Now the silence screams louder than sin
And I swear I won’t do it again
(But I will… yeah, I will)


---

[Outro – Whispered Over Static Lo-fi Noise]
I talk to the dark, and it talks back
Tells me who I lost when I lost track
No one's knocking, the world moved on
But I still pour drinks for the ones who are gone

…and me.
I’m gone too.
