One Day

There’s a party out there searching for me
They’re looking for a soul who drowned
Now that my heroes are all six feet underground

The bottle holds me hostage 
But there’s no ransom call, it’s all just black
The empty glass I hold was not a surprise attack

I try not to think
But soon there is confirmation of my worst fears
The whiskey mixes best with the salt from my tears

Who am I now?
I wish I knew, because I’m not sure
The poison in my veins my only cure
One day I’ll awake
One day I’ll rise
One day will be a surprise

She knows me best
But I fight back and we disagree
Why does she love the broken bits of me?

I’ll write her a letter
I’ll tell her why I’m gone and how I feel
Maybe this time the words on the page will manifest into something real

Who am I kidding?
I was born this way, and this is the way I will die
When she locked the door, she didn’t cry

Who am I now?
I wish I knew, because I’m not sure
The poison in my veins my only cure
One day I’ll awake
One day I’ll rise
One day my truth will chase the lies

Please wake me up
I promise this time it will all be real
I’ll bet my life to seal the deal

I’ll give you all I have left in my soul
Sorry it’s so dirty, tattered, and worn
I loaned it out one day and it came back torn

A knock on the door shakes my thoughts
Enter an angel in white holding a gun in her hand
I drink from her cup upon her demand

Who am I now?
I wish I knew, because I’m not sure
The poison in my veins my only cure
One day I’ll awake
One day I’ll rise
One day I’ll compromise

One day I’ll awake
One day I’ll rise
One day I…
