Comin' To
Empty Whiskey: A Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I AIN'T BEEN SOBER FOR 82 MORNINGS TOO LONG
I haven't been sober for 82 mornings, a prolonged period.
IT'S BEEN A BOTTLE A DAY FOR THE 81 NIGHTS SHE'S BEEN GONE
I've been consuming a bottle of alcohol every night for the 81 nights she's been absent.
THE SUN BURNS A HOLE IN MY HEAD AS IT PONDERS AND PLEADS
The sun symbolically torments me as I contemplate and plead; uncertain if I'll make it to the 83rd day.
NEITHER ONE OF US KNOW IF I'LL SEE 83
Neither of us knows if I'll survive until the 83rd day.
THIS JIM BEAM THAT'S STIRRING IS SLURRING MY MISTY HAZED BRAIN
The Jim Beam I'm drinking is affecting my foggy mind, and I wish it would decide before my sanity fades completely.
I WISH IT'D MAKE UP ITS MIND BEFORE WHAT LITTLE'S LEFT OF MINE GOES INSANE
I hope the whiskey decides soon before what's left of my mind becomes insane.
THIS HANGOVER'S HANGIN ON STRONG AS I BUZZ BACK TO BLUE
A persistent hangover intensifies as I transition back to a somber state, reflecting on the depleted whiskey.
CAUSE THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN' TO
The whiskey is finished, and I'm facing the reality of the situation.
(CHORUS)
Chorus: Reiterating the emptiness of the whiskey and the realization setting in.
THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN TO
Repeating the acknowledgment of an empty whiskey bottle and the confusion of days.
I CAN'T TELL IF ITS MONDAY OR WEDNESDAY OR JUNE
Uncertainty about the day, reflecting the disorientation caused by alcohol.
BREAKING OPEN ANOTHER IS ALL THAT I KNOW TO DO
Opening another bottle is the only coping mechanism I know.
CAUSE THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN TO
Reiteration of the whiskey emptiness and the acknowledgment of reality.
(CHORUS)
Chorus: Repeating the theme of facing the consequences of alcohol consumption.
THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN TO
Repeating the acknowledgment of an empty whiskey bottle and the confusion of days.
I CAN'T TELL IF ITS MONDAY OR WEDNESDAY OR JUNE
Uncertainty about the day, reflecting the disorientation caused by alcohol.
HERE COMES THAT OL HURTIN JUST LIKE IT WAS BRAND NEW
The pain resurfaces, reminiscent of a fresh wound.
CAUSE THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN TO
Reiteration of the whiskey emptiness and the acknowledgment of reality.
BREAKING OPEN ANOTHER IS ALL THAT I KNOW TO DO
Opening another bottle is the only coping mechanism I know.
CAUSE THE WHISKEY IS EMPTY AND I'M COMIN TO
Reiteration of the whiskey emptiness and the acknowledgment of reality.
