Whisky chasing me around

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
