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…
