Drink My Life Away

[Verse 1]
Empty glass on the table
Lipstick ghost on the rim
You swore you’d stay till tomorrow
Tomorrow never walked in
I still hear your last sentence
Cracking right through my skull
You walked out with the daylight
Left my head loud and dull
[Chorus]
You made me a mess
Then you walked away
Now I drink my life away
Drink my life away
You tore up my chest
Left it cold and grey
Now I drink my life away
On my own
(on my own)
[Verse 2]
Clock hands cut like a razor
Every tick tastes like blame
Every barstool confession
Ends up cursing your name
Friends say I should forget you
Like it’s easy to drown a fire
So I’m filling up these bottles
Trying to flood this funeral pyre
[Chorus]
You made me a mess
Then you walked away
Now I drink my life away
Drink my life away
You tore up my chest
Left it cold and grey
Now I drink my life away
On my own
(on my own, yeah)
[Bridge]
Was I ever more than a habit?
Just a phase you had to shed?
Now I’m carving scars in my liver
’Cause I can’t carve you from my head
[Chorus]
You made me a mess
Then you walked away
Now I drink my life away
Drink my life away
You tore up my chest
Left it cold and grey
Now I drink my life away
On my own
(on my own, on my own)

metal, Modern metal with downtuned guitars, tight chugs, and tom-heavy drums. Verses stay tense and palm-muted; chorus opens with wide power chords and gang vocals on key lines. Screamed backing lines under a melodic male vocal lead, with a brief halftime breakdown before the final chorus.
