LOST TIME AND BREATH

(Verse 1) Sitting here, drinking myself to death,
 In a chamber— lost time and breath.
 I swallow pain ‘til my mind cries,
 Every truth I’ve buried, every lie.
 I drained the bottle, lit the flame,
 Now I whisper my final blame… (Pre-Chorus)
 I liked the man I was,
 But he’s gone, underground.
 Now I’m drowning in echoes,
 Of what I never found… (never found)… (Chorus) If you were in my shoes, 
 You’d understand this fall.
 How a man can only carry
 So much guilt before he crawls. 
Haunted by lost plans,
 By love that slipped through hands—
 Ohhh… this is where I stand…. ….this is where I end…ohhh… ohhh… (Verse 2)
 The things I’ve done are my own plague,
 A debt unpaid, a life misshaped.
 Love and hate—two blades the same, 
They cut my soul, whisper my name.
 I tried to pray, but faith’s long gone,
 All I trust is this sad old song… (Chorus) If you were in my shoes, 
 You’d understand this fall.
 How a man can only carry
 So much guilt before he crawls.
 Haunted by the lost plans,
 By love that slipped through hands— 
Ohhh… this is where I stand. (Bridge) Scotch on the rocks and a cigarette flame,
 Memories dancing, whispering names.
 No redemption, no release,
 Just the ghost of me seeking peace, ….in a lost place… (Verse) If you were me you would understand, And now it’s too late to see… ohhh… (Final Chorus)
 All I have is this scotch, this ice,
 And my last breath cold as vice.
 Ohhh… my ghost separates,
 To ride the waves I couldn’t face.
 The waves that took my heart away, 
And left me here to fade away… (Outro)
 Sitting here, drinking myself to death,
 A chamber of lost time… no time left.
 If there’s mercy, let it find me late—
 For a man wrong to the core… 
Was born too soon to change his fate… Ohh… mmm… mmm…
