Intro
He’s not drinking to forget —
He’s drinking to remember the person he used to be.
A sadness to this story
Laid bare for all to see

 Verse 1
Midnight on repeat again,
He drinks until he can’t pretend.
If morning comes, he’ll hide his face,
From the truth he can’t erase.
When cold outside he feel nothing
stiffness overcomes his estrange mind
when sunken this low in the bottle
you have to be cruel to be kind

 Chorus 1
The mirror doesn’t lie tonight,
Shows the truth he tries to fight.
He drinks to blur the face he sees,
But it follows him with ease.

 Verse 2
Where the nights don’t end, he stays,
Lost between the hours and the haze.
If morning breaks, he’ll disappear,
Into the comfort of another beer.
People stare intent to judge
but does he feel a needed grudge
his best friend infects his veins
only he can fight off these pains

 Chorus 2
The quiet after the pour feels real,
A moment where he almost heals.
But the silence never lasts too long,
Before he’s reaching for what feels strong.
ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
hhhheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
oooooooooooooooooooo

 Bridge
A silence fills the room around
he lays slumped across the cold ground
another night with memory lost
all this despair and at what cost

 [Spanish guitar solo]

 Final chorus
The mirror doesn’t lie tonight,
Shows the truth he tries to fight.
He drinks to blur the face he sees,
But it follows him with ease.
The quiet after the pour feels real,
A moment where he almost heals.
A silence fills the room around
he lays slumped across the cold ground
His words echo within my mind
save me from this poison
take me without reason
leave a memory of before the pain
and in another life i may see you again

 Outro
Leave a memory of before the pain
and in another life i may see you again
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 Lyrics (c) Dave Meredith 2015-2026 (re-imagined)

A new track, something powerful in terms of lyrics and musical production. Combining cinematic orchestral sounds with electronic, Spanish guitar, Erhu and beautiful vocals. What this mixes into is an emotional and powerful song that needs to be heard rather than explained.
