From the recording Glass by Glass
Lyrics
Title: "Glass by Glass"
Verse 1
He pours another whiskey, just to drown the pain,
It burns like old mistakes, coursing through his veins.
Another night alone, the bottle by his side,
His dreams are getting smaller, and the man’s too tired to fight.
Pre-Chorus
But he don't see the cracks creeping up his pride,
Behind every shot, there's a truth he can't hide.
Chorus
Glass by glass, it’s pulling him under,
Killing the man with the spark and thunder.
A fleeting rush, but it don’t last,
He's trading his future for a haunted past.
Verse 2
The mirror shows a stranger, shadowed and worn,
His fire’s flickering low, the edges torn.
He had ambitions, once hung so high,
Now they’re drowning in rivers gone dry.
Pre-Chorus
Each drop whispers lies, sweet to his soul,
But it’s eating through his spirit, leaving a hole.
Chorus
Glass by glass, it’s pulling him under,
Killing the man with the spark and thunder.
A fleeting rush, but it don’t last,
He's trading his future for a haunted past.
Bridge
The blues plays soft, a ghostly refrain,
He stares at the bottle like it knows his name.
It’s not the cure, it’s the thief in disguise,
Stealing his hopes while it feeds him lies.
Chorus
Glass by glass, it’s dragging him under,
Shattering dreams that he used to wonder.
A fleeting high, but the damage is vast,
He's fading so quickly, living too fast.
Outro
The bottle’s empty again, but the weight still stays,
He’s lost in the stillness of the mess he’s made.
If only he’d seen, before it was too late,
That alcohol ain't kind—it's just a lover of fate.
