Evan Geistfeld - One Beer Or Another Year Lyrics

I stand alone,
Two years sober, but the memories still roam
The scent of hops, the amber glow
Temptation whispers
Just one beer, let go
I've danced with demons, fought the fight
Counted days, kept my spirit bright,
But the barstools beckon, shadows near
One beer, or another year?
Oh, the bottles line the shelves, Their glassy eyes, their secret spells
I've come so far, yet the thirst remains
Will I drown in memories or break these chains
Or break these chains
I see the neon signs, they flicker and sway
Promising solace, escape from the day
But I've tasted freedom, felt the sun
And I won't trade clarity for oblivion
I've danced with demons, fought the fight
Counted days, kept my spirit bright
But the barstools beckon, shadows near
One beer, or another year
Oh, the bottles line the shelves, Their glassy eyes, their secret spells
I've come so far, yet the thirst remains
Will I drown in memories or break these chains
I sat at home, saw the frosted glow
Of each bottle with it's drops fall low
Grabbed a Red Bull just to feel
An escape that wasn't real
Oh, the bottles line the shelves, Their glassy eyes, their secret spells
I've come so far, yet the thirst remains
Will I drown in memories or break these chains
Or break these chains
The bartender smiles
Pours a golden stream
Liquid courage or a twisted dream
Faces blur, laughter swirls
I grip the edge of sobriety's pearl
Oh, the bottles line the shelves
Their glassy eyes, their secret spells
I've come so far, yet the thirst remains
Will I drown in memories or break these chains
Two years, a lifetime in each drop
I choose resilience, though the temptations won't stop
For every beer left untouched, I find my grace
In this battle of choices, I claim my space
