Rebel Nightshade - Whiskey Scars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Amber liquid in a crystal glass
Dancing shadows of my checkered past
Every sip burns away the pain
But morning light brings it back again
These trembling hands tell no lies
'Bout the demons I can't disguise

[Chorus]
Whiskey scars and broken prayers
Healing wounds that no one shares
Down the bottle, up the wall
Watch the evening shadows fall
Sweet salvation's bitter taste
Years of memories erased

[Verse 2]
Through the looking glass I see
All the ghosts that follow me
Empty bottles line the shelf
Like monuments to my former self
In this haze of numb delight
I'm losing track of wrong and right

[Bridge]
Float away on golden streams
Into psychedelic dreams
Mother Mary can't you see
What this world has done to me?
F*ck these chains that bind my soul
Leave these stories half untold

[Verse 3]
Morning sun bleeds through the blinds
Ancient wisdom lost in time
Coffee black and spirits high
Watch the world go drifting by
Every scar tells its own tale
Of redemption and of fail

[Chorus]
Whiskey scars and broken prayers
Healing wounds that no one shares
Down the bottle, up the wall
Watch the evening shadows fall
Sweet salvation's bitter taste
Years of memories erased

[Outro]
In the bottom of this glass
I see fragments of my past
But maybe somewhere in these scars
There's beauty in the things we are
