Whiskey on My Tongue

Smoke rising can't see the sun

Glass half-empty fight's just begun

Bare feet walking on a gravel road

This heavy heart about to explode

Strings bending like the edge of pain

Thunder rolling in my blood again

Rusty chains rattling inside my chest

No peace here no time to rest

Whiskey on my tongue fire in my veins

Tears hit the ground like a cold hard rain

Got a howl in my throat don't know where it belongs

Living for the night breaking with the dawn

Tired eyes staring at a cracked mirror

The truth ain't pretty but it's all clearer

A scar for every lie I've ever believed

A song for every night I've grieved

Broken guitar laying in the dust

Strings still hum with the weight of trust

Every note a scream every chord a plea

This is the sound of a soul breaking free

Whiskey on my tongue fire in my veins

Tears hit the ground like a cold hard rain

Got a howl in my throat don't know where it belongs

Living for the night breaking with the dawn
