Whiskey on Rocks

Glass in my hand

Staring it down

Ice melting slow

No sound no sound

Whiskey burns

It bites

It stings

Like a fight you can't win

But you still swing

Whiskey on rocks

It don't lie

Burns in my throat

Makes me high

Whiskey on rocks

Keeps me sane

Pour another round

Drown the pain

Neon flickers

Barstool throne

Lonely kings

All alone

Shadows dancing on the wall

Every sip

A rise then a fall

But who am I foolin'?

It's just a poison I'm pullin'

Whiskey on rocks

It don't lie

Burns in my throat

Makes me high

Whiskey on rocks

Keeps me sane

Pour another round

Drown the pain

Shattered dreams in every drop

Clock keeps ticking

Can't make it stop

I hear the echoes of what I lost

All in the amber

All in the frost
