ALCOHOLIC (Walten Files)

Horror pop, fragile close-miked vocals with doubled harmonies, lilting minor-key verse turning into a dazzling major-key chorus, detuned toy piano and music-box celeste over pulsing synth bass, reverse-bowed strings, crisp four-on-the-floor kick, handclaps, bright glockenspiel, sharp orchestral stabs, brief half-time bridge, tape wobble and sudden reverb cuts

V6-MINI

[Verse 1] I keep one bottle by the sink Half gone by the time I blink Just a little to take the edge Just a little, I always said I pour too much for paper cups Tell myself it’s not enough Monday finds me counting slurs Thursday, I’m already worse I laugh it off, I make a joke But my hands still smell like smoke And I know what I won’t say I been sipping my nights away [Pre-Chorus] But it's alright I'm fine I'll stop in due time [Chorus] I'm an alcoholic, Chugging the bottle till there's nothing left I'm awful, yes But I'm trying my best My life is left in shambles My heart is left to rot But I have my friends behind me (Or so I thought) [Verse 2] She packed the dishes in a box Left her ring there with the locks Said she can’t keep pleading with A man who drinks his way through it I stood there by the broken frame Watching her take back her name Now the house feels too damn wide With her coat gone off the side Court papers on the table, plain No big speech, no final blame Just a pen and my shaking hand And the wreckage I called a plan [Pre-Chorus] But it's alright I'm fine I'll stop in due time [Chorus] I'm an alcoholic, Chugging the bottle till there's nothing left I'm awful, yes But I'm trying my best My life is left in shambles My heart is left to rot But I have my friends behind me (Or so I thought) [Bridge] I took the keys with shaking hands Said I knew these back roads by heart Jack's kids were buckled in the back Laughing at the dashboard start One red light, then all at once The road split, the glass gave way Now I count names instead of drinks And I can't scrub that night away [Pre-Chorus] It's all spinning 'round WHY CAN'T I SLOW IT DOWN?! [Chorus] I'm an alcoholic, Chugging the bottle till there's nothing left I'm awful, yes But I'm trying my best My life is left in shambles My heart is left to rot I no longer have anyone behind me No, I don't have anyone behind me [Instrumental outro]
