Ashes & Oath Bitter Pill

Verse 1

Woke up on the floor with the TV glowing blue

Ashtray overflowing just like my excuses do

Hands are dirty, shaking, I don't even try

All the hope I had is buried where the bottles lie

Pre-Chorus

The phone lights up with names I can't face

Another night alone just to keep up the chase

Could have called for help but I closed my eyes

Stuck in the mess I made just getting by

Chorus

I keep pouring shots till I'm numb, yeah, nothing left

Bottle at my side, yeah, I'm racing towards my death

Every swallow burns, but I drink away regret

'Cause falling apart is the only comfort I get

Post-Chorus

Oh, I’m fading, I’m fading

Can't stop the breaking

Verse 2

Broken glass on the floor, my memories spill

Voices in my head, and I can't get still

People say it gets better, but I know the drill

Empty promises swallowed with another bitter pill

Pre-Chorus

You said I should quit, but you don't understand

When you’re drowning slow, you reach for any hand

Swear I'll get clean, then I fall again

It’s a long goodbye, just me and this can

Chorus

I keep pouring shots till I'm numb, yeah, nothing left

Bottle at my side, yeah, I'm racing towards my death

Every swallow burns, but I drink away regret

'Cause falling apart is the only comfort I get

Post-Chorus

Oh, I’m fading, I’m fading

Can't stop the breaking

Bridge

Streetlights blur as I stumble through the night

Promises to fix it gone before the morning light

Old friends ghosts now, lost in the haze

Still chasing pain just to pass the days

Chorus

I keep pouring shots till I'm numb, yeah, nothing left

Bottle at my side, yeah, I'm racing towards my death

Every swallow burns, but I drink away regret

'Cause falling apart is the only comfort I get

Post-Chorus

Oh, I’m fading, I’m fading

Can't stop the breaking

Outro

Last call echoes, but I’m still stuck on repeat

Drowning in silence, stains on my sleeve

No one left to blame, no one left to phone

In the bottom of the glass, I finally feel alone

Just an empty room and a fading name

Same tired cycle, just more of the same

Promises to change, scrawled on ripped receipts

But I stumble on, chasing something I can’t keep
