Lyrics
I've been walking straight too long
Feeling like I've been following the rules for too long.
On a thin chalk line and fading, almost gone
Living on the edge, nearly disappearing, losing strength.
Feeling my shadow get close
Sensing something ominous or troubling approaching.
Even if knows there's a hard raining coming on
Even though aware of impending hardship.
I'm drinking tonight, gonna give up the fight
Deciding to drink tonight and give up the struggle.
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey
Whiskey is more potent than the emotions felt.
I'm, I'm letting you in, the ghost of my sin
Allowing past mistakes to resurface.
And the taste of goodbye on your lips when you kiss me
Recalling the feeling of parting through a kiss.
'Til I can't take anymore, poison's the cure
Continuing until unable to bear it anymore, considering poison as a remedy.
To hell with your memory, gonna burn it down
Rejecting memories and deciding to obliterate them.
I choke back tears 'til I damn near drown
Suppressing emotions until nearly overwhelmed.
What do you do with a man with dirt on his hands
Dealing with a person who has committed wrongdoing.
And a deep hole dug in the ground
Metaphorically speaking about dealing with the consequences of actions.
I'm drinking tonight, gonna give up the fight
Repeating the decision to drink and surrender.
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey
Whiskey's strength surpasses the emotional attachment.
I'm, I'm letting you in, the ghost of my sin
Allowing past errors or misdeeds to influence the present.
And the taste of goodbye on your lips when you kiss me
Remembering the feeling of separation through a kiss.
'Til I can't take anymore, poison's the cure
Continuing until reaching a point of unbearable pain, seeking escape through poison.
I'm chasing my demons with a shot of Crown
Trying to confront personal demons by consuming alcohol.
Little more have their way 'til I see the light of day but tonight
Drinking until clarity or resolution is found, despite consequences.
I'm drinking tonight, gonna give up the fight
Reiterating the choice to drink and relinquish control.
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey
Whiskey's potency exceeds the emotional struggle.
I'm, I'm letting you in, the ghost of my sin
Allowing past wrongdoings to resurface and affect the present.
And the taste of goodbye on your lips when you kiss me
Recalling the feeling of separation through a kiss.
I can't take anymore, I hope the poison's the cure
Enduring until the pain becomes unbearable, hoping poison provides relief.
I can't take anymore, I hope the poison's the cure
Desperation for relief from unbearable pain through a drastic measure.
