Echoes in the Bottle

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

---

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...)

---

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

---

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

---

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)

---

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.
