Lyrics
Bourbon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a headless horseman on quilted sand dunes
With my neck wide open, I pray for refuge
Cause since I've been found I've been living a life in cages
Withering down to the champagne quicksand
Wrestling doubt I've been dragging around for ages
I tried to let it drain but my veins are hopeless
Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup
I'm a tritone bible with misprint logic
I count lunar cycles with faithless prophets
Cause since I've been found I've been living a life in cages
Withering down to the champagne quicksand
Wrestling doubt I've been dragging around for ages
I tried to let it drain but my veins are hopeless
Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup
I'm a mountainless valley
Never comforted crashing
I'm just another stone on broken walls
Racing the winds in a hurricane
I'm not as brave as I once was
I've been kicking these rocks in a river
And they've been sinking low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Oh they've been going low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
I mean, I lied, how long?
Cause they've been sinking low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Won't keep a promise I can't make
Cause I've been going low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup
Low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
We've been going low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
Going low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low
