[Verse]
The bottle clinks like shattered glass
A quiet storm
It doesn’t pass
Their laughter’s loud
But it’s not real
I count the cracks
I watch them peel
[Prechorus]
The floor’s a sea of broken nights
I stand alone in the fading light
[Chorus]
When they drink
The world tips over
I’m the child
The quiet soldier
Holding walls that start to break
Praying for a dawn to take
The bitter taste away
[Verse 2]
The clock spins fast
But time stands still
The empty chairs
The unpaid bills
They say they’re fine
It’s just one more
But I’m the ghost behind the door
[Prechorus]
Their promises
They come and go
Like whispers lost in falling snow
[Chorus]
When they drink
The world tips over
I’m the child
The quiet soldier
Holding walls that start to break
Praying for a dawn to take
The bitter taste away
