[Intro – Whispery, melodic R&B tone over ambient guitars]
Pour one out for peace of mind...
One more shot just to feel alive...
I don’t run, I just drown in the sound
Ghosts in my veins, but I won’t back down...
[Verse 1 – R&B melody, with creeping guitars underneath]
Dark liquor on my tongue, got me numb, got me holy
Dancin’ with my demons, they the only ones who know me
Smiles in the mirror, but they feel like masks
I toast to the pain, then I fade to black
[Guitar drop – Metal riff slams in]
Trapped in the bottle, but I’m flyin' through the flames
Everything I lost, I keep buried in my veins
Screamin' in my head, I be singin' through the chains
Can’t feel love, just liquor and rage!
[Hook – Soaring vocals with screaming underlayer]
(Clean singing)
Liquor got me free...
But it’s killin' me slow, can’t you see?
I don’t cry, I just bleed in the beat
Toast to the fam that I’ll never again meet
(Screamed layer)
TRAPPED IN MY FREEDOM — I’M BREAKIN’ TO BREATHE!!!
[Verse 2 – Spoken/sung, echo effects, metal chords beneath]
Mama's voice in the static
Pops gone — automatic
Now I pray in the form of a drink
And talk to the spirits I sink
[Mid-Break – Heavy guitars, R&B falsetto over chaos]
(Falsetto)
Don’t call me broken...
I’m just built from pain
This crown is rusted
But I wear it the same...
[Bridge – Drop to quiet, ambient plucks, clean voice]
Every sip is a funeral march
Every laugh hides a million scars
I walk through the fire with tears in my teeth
But I'd rather burn than feel nothin’ beneath...
[Final Hook – Explosive, layered harmonies]
(Clean lead)
Liquor got me free...
But it’s killin’ me slow, can’t you see?
I don’t cry, I just bleed in the beat
Toast to the fam that I’ll never again meet
I’m trapped...
But damn I feel free...
(Screamed harmony)
BURIED MY HEART, NOW I'M DRINKIN' TO BREATHE!!!
[Outro – Fading guitars, whispered R&B]
This bottle’s a prayer...
And I still feel them there...
