Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ashtray on the counter Empty cans beneath my feet Little shoes by the doorway Watching who their dad will be Bathroom mirror Bloodshot stranger Who taught you to lie this well? Got their drawings on the fridge door And a private kind of hell [Chorus] I gotta break these bottles Before they break my bones Gotta crush these crutches Walk my kids back home I hear their names in every Glass I raise Every pill I take I'll burn this poison kingdom down For the hearts I didn't make [Verse 2] Phone lights up "You coming?" Same old wolves Same old bar But my son's toy truck is rumbling Across my faded scars Daughter banging on my bedroom Says "Dad You promised today" Her little hand on my shaking wrist Pulls me from the grey [Chorus] I gotta break these bottles Before they break my bones Gotta crush these crutches Walk my kids back home I hear their names in every Glass I raise Every pill I take I'll burn this poison kingdom down For the hearts I didn't make [Bridge] Cold sweat Midnight Teeth grind Hands tied Every demon that I fed Screams "You’re ours" inside But then I see their faces Framed in Sunday light If I'm gonna die on something I'll die learning how to fight (yeah) [Chorus] I gotta break these bottles Before they break my bones Gotta crush these crutches Walk my kids back home I hear their names in every Glass I raise Every pill I take I'll tear these urges from my veins For every promise that I break [Outro] One day at a time One step One breath I was drinking toward my funeral Now I'm crawling from my death Tiny voices in the hallway Laughing through the door For them I'll stay unfinished And come back wanting more
