Chasing That Dragon Was Chosen Over Me

Dark, swampy delta blues with male vocals; dry slide guitar and thumping foot-stomp kick, low growling bass on the root, Verses stay close and muttered, lots of air and fret noise; chorus widens with doubled vocals and call‑and‑response hums, Occasional overdriven guitar fills snarl between lines, keeping the groove slow, heavy, and menacing, male vocals, delta blues

[Verse 1] Ash in your hair Bottle in your hand You said "I'll be right back" I watched you fade into that backroom band Cold coffee on the table My name stuck in your teeth You traded my touch for a fever Chasing ghosts you swear you need [Chorus] Chasing that dragon was chosen over me You kissed the flame Let it burn our family tree I was standing in the doorway Begging you to see Chasing that dragon Was chosen over me [Verse 2] Clock on the wall Keeps asking Where you been Your jacket on the chair Still smells like old sin Your eyes used to find me Now they stare right through Shaking hands round a promise You keep breaking in two [Chorus] [Bridge] I poured out the bottles Scrubbed your name from my skin But that hunger in your shadow Keeps dragging you back in So I’m packing this heartbeat One small bag One spare key If you ever crawl out that fire You won’t find me waiting on my knees [Chorus]
