Drown the Devil

Born in the silence, house full of ghosts,

Empty chair where I needed him most.

Mama cried prayers into the night,

But the bottle held me too damn tight.

Whiskey whispers told me lies,

Said I’d be fine, just close my eyes.

But every drink just dug my grave,

Another scar I couldn’t save.

And I fell into the dirt I made,

My own hell a debt I never paid.

But I’m crawling out, I’m not going down,

I’ve faced the fire, I’ve worn the crown.

I drowned the devil, I killed that sound,

Now I’m standing on solid ground.

Saw my reflection in a cracked glass stare,

The man I became just wasn’t there.

Haunted by the father I’ll never know,

Chased his shadow everywhere I’d go.

Lost my faith in a motel room,

Half alive and flirting with doom.

But the pain lit the spark inside,

And I swore I’d live, not just survive.

And I fell but I learned to crawl,

From that hell I built these walls.

Yeah, I’m crawling out, I’m not going down,

I’ve faced the fire, I’ve worn the crown.

I drowned the devil, I killed that sound,

Now I’m standing on solid ground.

Ashes in my lungs, truth in my bones,

I walked that road, I bled alone.

But the night don’t scare me now,

I found my voice somehow.

I’m crawling out, I’m not going down,

I faced the fire, I wear the crown.

The past don’t own me now

Yeah, I drowned the devil down.

Drowned the devil drowned the pain

Found myself in the rain
