From the recording Why not slowdown
Lyrics
He walks alone through empty streets at night
Chasing ghosts in neon city lights
Every pour is a prayer he can't say
Every sip takes the pain half away
He drinks to forget, but remembers it all
The silence screams louder with every fall
Glass after glass, he forgets his name
But the shadows still whisper just the same
He drinks to forget, but it cuts like a flame
The bottle listens better than the people ever came
He stumbles straight into memories he fled
Each step rewinds the things he never said
No judgment here, just the clink of the ice
A quiet friend in a world cold as vice
He drinks to forget, but the mirror knows
The past still dances where the whiskey flows
Glass after glass, he forgets his name
But the past pulls him back into the frame
He drinks to forget, but remembers the shame
The bottle listens better than the world ever came
No one asks why, they just look away
But that bottle’s been there every goddamn day
He’s a man in a storm, trying to stay dry
While the rain keeps falling from the inside
Glass after glass, he's fading slow
But the pain gets clearer with every low
He drinks to forget, but the truth still shows
The bottle listens, and never lets go
