There's a bottle stuck in my throat
Five feet tall with a six foot shadow
The Devil whispers why hold it so tight
My son you can't fill the void with borrowed light
Speculation breeds hesitation
I march in my own funeral procession
Swallowed truths leave scars untold
But my silence burns hotter than the cold
Everybody knew bout my other life
Everybody knew they wouldn't let it die
Secrets carved deep sharper than a knife
Everybody knew bout my other life
Here's a story with less gravity
Dreams that break into reality
Every friend I know has dived too deep
They've crashed but they've learned how to leap
Obligations pull me down the crossroad's chains
A devil's deal signed in blood and flames
The chemistry of soul and smoke collides
I'm lost in theories I can't abide
Everybody knew bout my other life
Everybody knew they wouldn't let it die
No redemption where shadows thrive
Everybody knew bout my other life
A cowboy doesn't change his horse midstream
But I let demons rewrite my dreams
Relax they say just sign the sheet
The weight will feel lighter
