The lights are low the room's a haze
I see my reflection through the smoky maze
The bottle whispers secrets I can't contain
Every sip's a friend and a foe to my brain
Oh the night's a river I can't outrun
Flowing steady til the rising sun
My heart’s heavy but the rhythm won’t break
I'm swaying with ghosts for my own sake
A shadow croons through the deepest night
Its wails bend notes under the dim bar light
Every wail a story carved into the air
Telling tales of sorrow we all seem to wear
Oh the night's a river I can't outrun
Flowing steady til the rising sun
My heart’s heavy but the rhythm won’t break
I'm swaying with ghosts for my own sake
The walls they shimmer like a tidal wave
I can't help but drift with what the music gave
Truths unsaid linger in each mournful tune
Guiding me softly through the lonely monsoon
Oh the night's a river I can't outrun
Flowing steady til the rising sun
My heart’s heavy but the rhythm won’t break
I'm swaying with ghosts for my own sake
