2 Years Gone

Two years gone still feel

The knife

Drowning in drink to numb

The life

Held the bottle like a shield

From pain

Her memory a storm

Constant rain

Stumbled through days

Blurry and lost

Paid the price countin’ the

Cost

Time didn’t mend it only

Blurred

Kept her voice in my mind it

Slurred

Got scars on my heart from

The tears I shed

Shouts and whispers echo

‘Round my head

Found the strength to put

That bottle down

Healing turns me into solid

Ground

Saw her shadow in every

Corner

Alcohol turned into my

Mourner

Every sip a step from grace

Every drop a slow erase

Forgiveness hard to find in

Self

Had to dig deep off the

Dusty shelf

Guilt like chains bind and

Tight

Broke ‘em loose stepped

Into light

Looked at her picture threw

Away the drink

Took a breath gave myself

Time to think

Walked through the ashes

Brighter days ahead

Can’t honor her name if

I’m dead

I drowned myself in pills

To hide

My pain and sorrow when

she died

I was so hurt I couldn’t think

So I poured myself another

Drink

Forgiveness hard to find in

Self

Had to dig deep off the

Dusty shelf

Guilt like chains bind and

Tight

Broke ‘em loose stepped

Into light

Got scars on my heart from

The tears I shed

Shouts and whispers echo

‘Round my head

Found the strength to put

That bottle down

Healing turns me into solid

Ground

Yeah yeah mmm

Forgiveness hard to find in

Self

Had to dig deep off the

Dusty shelf

Guilt like chains bind and

Tight

Broke ‘em loose stepped

Into light

Got scars on my heart from

The tears I shed

Shouts and whispers echo

‘Round my head

Found the strength to put

That bottle down

Healing turns me into solid

Ground
