[Verse 1]
Opened up the book that’s gathering dust
The words hit harder than the whiskey’s trust
Lost the nights and the people I knew
Chased the bottle while it rolled right through
[Chorus]
I drained the bottle now I’m choking on air
The Bible’s verses hit me right where I tear
Lost love in the tide found hope in the fight
I’m swapping the dark for a flicker of light
[Verse 2]
Blamed the world but it wasn’t to blame
I drowned in spirits and I burned in shame
Saw the mirror but I hated the view
Tried escaping but I'm breaking through
[Bridge]
The nights I let break me the prayers I ignored
I sank to the bottom and washed to this shore
If love’s a redemption then I’m gonna stay
‘Cause I burned my past but I walk this way
[Verse 3]
Took the bottle apart with shaking hands
An empty vessel I now understand
Lost the years but I can’t lose today
Sobriety’s a fight but I’m here to stay
[Chorus]
I drained the bottle now I’m choking on air
The Bible’s verses hit me right where I tear
Lost love in the tide found hope in the fight
I’m swapping the dark for a flicker of light
