No More to Weep

[Verse 1]
Basement bar
One red bulb hums
Ash in the glass
My hands go numb
Your coat still hangs
On that rusted nail
I talk to it
When the whiskey fails
[Chorus]
Said
"no more to weep"
But my eyes keep leaking your name
Tried to bury your ghost so deep
It just laughs in the cracks of my shame
If there's no more to weep
Why's the floor still slick with the past
If there's no more to weep
Why your shadow the last thing that lasts
[Verse 2]
Piano man
Plays that crooked hymn
Keys all chipped
Like my faith in him
Violin cries
On a single string
Cello crawls
Like a broken wing
[Chorus]
Said
"no more to weep"
But my eyes keep leaking your name
Tried to bury your ghost so deep
It just laughs in the cracks of my shame
If there's no more to weep
Why the chair where you sat stays warm
If there's no more to weep
Why I drink just to ride out the storm (oh)
[Bridge]
Clock on the wall
Ticks a little too fast
Heartbeat chases it
Can't outwalk the past
Swore I was done
With begging and blame
Yet here I am
Still toasting your name
[Chorus]
Said
"no more to weep"
But my eyes keep leaking your name
Tried to bury your ghost so deep
It just laughs in the cracks of my shame
If there's no more to weep
Why my throat keeps biting back cries
If there's no more to weep
Why I'm drowning in these dry eyes

Live smoky blues ballad with male vocals, eerie upright piano and mournful violin up front; cello sways underneath like a slow, uneasy tide. Tempo starts as a sparse, dragging lament and gradually tightens into a restless groove, drums creeping in with brushes to sticks. Final chorus pushes the voice into gritty intensity, violin and piano trading ghostly fills before an abrupt, chilling cutoff., slow, violin, cello, blues
