Whiskey Black

(album: From The Roots, Vol. 2 - 2018)

Burning down this house of cards
I helped to build with broken shards
Of who I thought you were
Twist the knife-blade in my side
Bleed me out until I die
Kill myself with cold blue eyes
No, not tonight!

I celebrate the funeral of my heart (your promises)
I know now who you are
You are dead to me, as dead as I was
Blinded by your lies (lies I can't forgive)
Don't wanna believe my eyes
You are dead to me
As dead as I was wrong

Suffocating in the sand
A three-year running one night stand
I should have known
(I should have known!) that night we met
Poison arrows in my back
Dripping wet in whiskey black
Paint your faces as they crack
Not looking back

I celebrate the funeral of my heart (your promises)
I know now who you are
You are dead to me, as dead as I was
Blinded by your lies (lies I can't forgive)
Don't wanna believe my eyes
You are dead to me
As dead as I was wrong

You've died inside me
A blue-eyed suicide
You died inside
Tried to blind me
Lied to me…

Break your promises
You died inside me
Tried to blind me
So many lies I can't forgive
I don't wanna believe my eyes
You are dead to me, so now…

I celebrate the funeral of my heart (break your promises)
I know now who you are (died inside me)
You are dead to me, as dead as I was (tried to blind me)
Blinded by your lies (I can't forgive)
Don't wanna believe my eyes
You are dead to me
As dead as I was wrong

Oh, so wrong
As dead as I was wrong
You are dead to me
You're dead to me
Dead to me!
