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
