Bourbon and B#tches

[Intro] Yeah. Another night in the cycle. [Verse 1] Floorboards covered in velvet and glass Watching the ghosts of the evening pass I got a bottle of brown and a room full of noise Trading my soul for these temporary joys The ice is melting, the pulse is a blur I’m calling out names but I’m never quite sure If I’m looking for heaven or just a distraction From the hollowed-out feeling of every transaction. [Pre-Chorus] One finger deep in the amber and ash Burning the bridges and waiting to crash The perfume is thick and the air is so thin I’m letting the wrong kind of company in. [Chorus] It’s just bourbon and bitches and bad-faith decisions A cinematic blur of these fractured-out visions I’m filling the crater with smoke and the sting Of chasing a high that don’t mean a damn thing Yeah, the bar is still open, the girls are still here But I’ve never felt further from anything clear It’s a beautiful wreck, it’s a hell of a view Just bourbon and bitches and nothing to do. [Verse 2] She’s whispering secrets I’ve heard ten times before While my dignity’s bleeding all over the floor Is it power or poison? I can’t tell the difference When everyone’s practicing cold indifference I’m the life of the party, the ghost in the glass Waiting for some kind of feeling to pass. [Bridge] The bottom of the bottle is a mirror I hate Staring at a man who just accepts his fate It’s a cheap kind of comfort, a high-priced regret I’m losing the gamble, I’m placing the bet YEAH, I’M PLACING THE BET! [Chorus] It’s just bourbon and bitches and bad-faith decisions A cinematic blur of these fractured-out visions I’m filling the crater with smoke and the sting Of chasing a high that don’t mean a damn thing Yeah, the bar is still open, the girls are still here But I’ve never felt further from anything clear. [Outro] Pour another round. Keep the lights down low. (Silence)
