Glass in the Spoon cover art

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Burned-out bulb in a busted room
Tan line where the wedding ring used to bloom
Phone full of ghosts that don’t answer back
Just a bent-up spoon and a cotton, black

Mama said “pray,” pastor said “change”
Dealer said “first one’s on me,” strange
Every “I love you” turned to a lie
Now it’s me and this rig and a question: why

[Chorus]
I keep chasin’ that white flash through my veins (through my veins)
Tryna outrun all this rusted-out pain
I’m a cracked-up man on a broken throne
Got smoke in my lungs, got glass in the spoon
And everybody swore they’d stay
Now I’m shootin’ at the sky, just to feel okay
I’m a dead man walkin’ in a skin and bone cocoon
Left alone with my blood and this glass in the spoon

[Verse 2]
Teeth in a cup by the motel sink
Hands still shake when I try not to think
Sleep won’t come, but the shadows talk
They know every bad thing that I ever bought

Tattooed names buried under fresh scars
Same old story in a different bar
They said “forever” then they disappeared
All that’s forever is the dope and the fear

[Chorus]
I keep chasin’ that white flash through my veins (through my veins)
Tryna outrun all this rusted-out pain
I’m a cracked-up man on a broken throne
Got smoke in my lungs, got glass in the spoon
And everybody swore they’d stay
Now I’m shootin’ at the sky, just to feel okay
I’m a dead man walkin’ in a skin and bone cocoon
Left alone with my blood and this glass in the spoon

[Bridge]
If I make it through this night
Will there be anybody left to call my name
Or just burned-out lighters on the floor
And another loaded truth inside the vein (oh Lord)

[Chorus]
I keep chasin’ that white flash through my veins (through my veins)
Tryna outrun all this rusted-out pain
I’m a cracked-up man on a broken throne
Got smoke in my lungs, got glass in the spoon
And everybody swore they’d stay
Now I’m screamin’ at the sky, but it fades away
I’m a dead man walkin’ in a skin and bone cocoon
Just me and this echo
And this glass in the spoon
