about
I wrote this song about getting sober, more specifically about the moment I decided I needed to. I definitely didn’t want to, I think sometimes that sentiment is lost… I had no other choice. Everything around me was falling apart in one way or another. Putting down the bottle for good was me surrendering. I was finally willing to wave the white flag and say “this has to stop.” I couldn’t live that way anymore, it wasn’t living, it was barely existing. I wanted to capture every emotion that comes with making the decision to get sober and of addiction in general: despair, pain, defeat, but also power and strength.
Finally being able to make the conscious choice to move on from my past was a life changing moment/decision. I finally just made the decision that I couldn’t keep numbing myself, escaping my feelings. I had to face my demons head on, it was the only way to have one last chance at happiness.

LYRICS:
Break myself to all of these pieces
Tell me who is gonna come clean this mess up
Cause I’ve been running running from demons
Bottom of the bottle don’t think I’ll get up again
How much longer can I get away with this
Sleeping on myself I’m dead awake in it
Blacking out the mirror don’t wanna deal with it
Or feel this shit
So sick of it
So I raise my glass and pour out the past
Smash it on the floor don’t want this no more
I only got one last chance
Heads been pounding I can’t remember
The last time it was quiet was never ever
Pray I’ll be okay by December
Hope to god I’ll handle the pressure now and again and again
How much longer can I get away with this
Sleeping on myself I’m dead awake in it
Blacking out the mirror don’t wanna deal with it
Or feel this shit
So sick of it
So I raise my glass and pour out the past
Smash it on the floor don’t want this no more
I only got one last chance
One more one more one more
Maybe just one more one more one more
Maybe just one more one more one more
Maybe I could have one more one more one more
So I raise my glass and pour out the past
Smash it on the floor don’t want this no more
I only got one last chance
