Whisky In The Wound

I don't need no doctor, don't need no grace
Just a dark bar corner and a ghost of face
Scars ain't here, they just burn slow
So I pour one more and let it overflow
Hurt like mine, don't ask for light

It drinks deep down in the dead of night
You call it broken
I call it proof of a man who lost too much to sue
I ain't looking for a cure, just whiskey in the wound
Let it sting, let it burn, let the bottle be my tomb
Ain't no fix for what I buried deep
So I pour it where I ain't meant to sleep I ain't praying
I ain't a meme, I just keep pouring whiskey in the wine

Yeah, I tried to run, tried to make it clean
But every step brought back to me
These boots don't walk in holy land
They stomp through, hurt with a callous hand
Bar tab long, memory longer
And that pain just keeps getting stronger
So I drown it with a rebel's grin

'Cause I know I faint looking for a cure
Just whiskey in a wound, let it stain, let it burn
Let the bottle be my tone
Ain't no fix for what I buried deep
So I pour it where I ain't meant to sleep I ain't praying
I ain't immune I just keep pouring
Whiskey in the womb

Some folks here with time
Some find peace me I pour liquor where I lost my release
This heart ain't stitched to scorching crude

So I toast to the pain we looking for a cure
Just whiskey in a wound, let it stain, let it burn
Let the bottle be my tongue
Ain't no fix for what I buried deep
So I pour it where I ain't meant to sleep I ain't praying
I ain't immune I just keep pouring whiskey in the womb

Yeah, I keep pouring whiskey in the world
