I’m battling my past, fighting my future
Trying to hold onto something that’s truer
Used to chase dreams like they knew my name
Now they feel distant, don’t burn the same
I’ve watched my interests slowly die
Things I loved just passed me by
Every road I swore was right
Keeps ending in another night
I’ve worn strength like second skin
Smiled wide while breaking in
Every win feels half-lost
Every breath comes with a cost
Dreams keep changing, losing ground
Every time I turn around
Plans fall through, hope drifts free
Only thing honest’s the truth in me
Dreams keep lying, shifting ground
While whiskey’s chasing me around
I’ve tried to quit, I’ve tried to pray
Tried to drink the weight away
Future’s loud, the past won’t sleep
Both keep pulling hard at me
I don’t know who I’m meant to be
Just know who I don’t wanna see
In the mirror when the lights go low
Asking things I already know
Dreams keep changing, losing ground
Every time I turn around
Plans fall through, hope drifts free
Only thing honest’s the truth in me
Dreams keep lying, shifting ground
While whiskey’s chasing me around
Maybe one day I’ll slow it down
Set the bottle on the ground
Let tomorrow say my name
Let a dream still feel the same
Till then I’ll walk this wire I’m on
Between what’s right and what is gone
Trying not to let me drown
With whiskey chasing me around
Dreams keep changing, losing ground
But whiskey’s chasing me around
