Liquid courage

[Verse 1]
Gotta get fucked up
Just to open up
Staring at the ceiling fan
’til it cuts me up
All of these stories
Stuck on my tongue
Hand me a bottle
Watch who I become

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth’s in the silence
Buried too deep
Couple more drinks
And it starts to leak

[Chorus]
Gotta get fucked up
To open up
I won’t be scared
To spill my guts
Hand me a bottle
And I’ll pull up
You want the truth?
This is what it does

Gotta get fucked up
To open up
Every locked door
Starts coming undone
Hand me a bottle
And I’ll pull up
Drive off the edge
Just to feel someone

[Verse 2]
You ask how I’m doing
I say “I’m fine”
You slide me a drink
I cross that line
Start naming the ghosts
I tried to outrun
Laugh while I’m crying
Call it “having fun”

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth hits harder
After round two
Everything buried
Starts breaking through

[Chorus]
Gotta get fucked up
To open up
I won’t be scared
To spill my guts
Hand me a bottle
And I’ll pull up
You want the truth?
This is what it does

Gotta get fucked up
To open up
Every locked door
Starts coming undone
Hand me a bottle
And I’ll pull up
If I make it home
Will I sober up?

[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll say it sober
Maybe tonight
I just get closer
To every word
I’m too scared to say
Without the burn
To light the way

[Final Chorus]
Gotta get fucked up
To open up
Every damn secret
Rising up
Hand me a bottle
And I’ll pull up
Truth tastes bitter
In a plastic cup
