Whiskey Roses

Moonlight drips, a silver stain on the floor

Whiskey whispers, shadows creep through the door

Heart a loaded chamber, ticking like a timepiece

Her touch a wildfire, never knew I'd need release

Whiskey roses, petals torn in the dust

Kisses burnin', ashes fall from the trust

She’s my sin, my savior, my poison, my cure

Whiskey roses, I keep coming back for more

Smoke curls like snakes, coiling ‘round the pine

Her laugh a blade, slicing through the wine

Boots hit the dirt, echoes loud as regret

Every step forward, a past I can't forget

Devil’s grin in her amber eyes

She’s the storm where my heaven lies

Whiskey roses, petals torn in the dust

Kisses burnin', ashes fall from the trust

She’s my sin, my savior, my poison, my cure

Whiskey roses, I keep coming back for more

Black lace tangled, wrapped around my veins

Every kiss a brand, every touch a chain

Love a noose, swinging from the cypress tree

But her fire’s the only thing that sets me free
