Daniel Adam Holmes - Venomous Flame Lyrics

This liquor I'm chasing's a venomous flame
Scorching my soul but I drink just the same
Drowning my sorrow in oceans of sin
The war in my head's where it always begins
Whispers of silence shadows that dance
Clutching the bottle like it's my last chance
I reach for the light but get burned by the rays
Trapped in a maze where hope decays
I'm not okay! I'm not okay!
This poison tears my heart away!
I'm lost in the haze where the dark won't fade
Dragged down deep by the lies I've made!
These demons I face in the bottle I wade
They scream my name and I'm not afraid!
Searching for solace in a glass filled with lies
I scream at the mirror with blood in my eyes!
But beneath the surface my spirit still dies
Still dies STILL DIES!!!
Thoughts spiral down like a ghost with no grave
The deeper I fall the less I am saved
Each sip is a blade each chug is a chain
Binding me tight in invisible pain
The world bears down like a collapsing star
I reach for myself but I've gone too far
This fleeting escape is a venomous kiss-
It gives me nothing nothing but this
NO ESCAPE!
NO REDEMPTION!
I'M DROWNING IN MY OWN DAMN REFLECTION!
HEAR ME SCREAM-
HEAR ME BREAK!
I'M THE STORM THAT I CAN'T OUTRUN!
I'm lost in the haze where the dark won't fade
Still bleeding out from the war I made!
These demons I face in the bottle I wade
One more drink one more blade!
Searching for solace in a glass filled with lies
Trapped in this hell where nothing survives!
But beneath the surface my spirit still dies
Still dies STILL DIES!!!
The bottle lied
The silence lied
They said I'd feel better-THEY LIED!
Oh this liquor won't free me from my chains
It just numbs the fire and floods my veins
Just a fleeting moment before all remains
NOTHING! BUT! PAIN!
