[Intro]
Waking up to the same cruel sun,
Swearing today, oh today will be the one.
Drowning in shadows of last night’s pain,
Every promise broken, can I break these chains?
[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall, show me the truth,
A reflection of the dreams I’m trying to lose.
Craving those memories that linger and fall,
But the ghost of alcohol just whispers, ‘Not at all.’
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the voices and I beckon and plead,
"What’s one more drink? Just let it feed."
The demon inside me, it’s a battle I’ll have to face.
Can I win this war or just lose my place?
[Chorus]
Alcohol ghost , why won’t you let go?
A nightly version of sorrow in every single low.
You whisper sweet nothings, drag me down again,
Alcohol ghost says,
Boy, you know I’ll always win!"
[Verse 2]
I scream at the night, and down deep, I’m yearning for peace,
With every sip, it feels like sweet release.
But your evil laughter echoes like thunder in my brain,
Will I ever become untangled, oh, it drives me insane.
[Chorus]
Alcohol ghost , why won’t you let go?
A nightly version of sorrow in every single low.
You whisper sweet nothings, drag me down again,
Alcohol ghost says,
Boy, you know I’ll always win!"
[Bridge]
Every time I rise, you take me down,
With every new dawn I try reclaim my crown.
These scars tell the story of a fight unwon,
But I’ll stand up and battle until the alcohol ghost is done.
[Chorus]
Oh, alcohol ghost why won’t you let go?
Crashing waves of sorrow in every single low.
You whisper sweet nothings, drag me down again,
Whispering, "Boy, you know I’ll always win!
[Outro]
And wake up in the morning, and rise from the mess,
And whisper to myself, "Today I’ll do my best."
Fighting you seems tiresome, a path so unfair,
But deep down inside, I know I'll soon get there.
(A quiet promise, echoing through the night,
Fighting for freedom, I’ll take back my light.)
