[Verse]
Stuttering John with his bottle in hand
Can't understand why life got so bland
Teaching the kids but they just get dim
Pouring a drink to the brim
[Verse 2]
Confused eyes staring at him so lost
Every lesson comes at a cost
Words that shatter like broken glass
Life slipping by too fast
[Chorus]
He’s chasing shadows in the night
Drowning sorrows out of sight
Kids growing up in a daze
Lost in John's cloudy maze
[Verse 3]
His voice stumbles and falls like rain
Echoes of a soul in silent pain
Teaching them wrong while drinking away
Confusion ain't got nothing to say
[Verse 4]
They ask him questions eyes full of doubt
Silence ensues as the bottle shouts
Answers buried deep in his haze
A bleak lesson of wasted days
[Bridge]
Whiskey whispers lies in his ear
Promises of clarity disappear
Family's love a faint distant star
Here’s John stumbling too far
