Drinking My Freedom - Levi Stoker
The clock on the wall is a lie and a thief
And the shadow in the corner is my only relief
I've traded my paycheck for a liquid gold key
To unlock the cage of the man I used to be
The world wants my labor, the world wants my time
But I'm finding my peace in this eighty proof crime
In a silence and a burn that feel like a song
Drowning out the voices of where I belong
Oh, I'm drinking my freedom one swallow at a time
Leaving the mountains of worry behind
It's a bittersweet salvation and a dark hearted grace
Washing the history right off of my face
Yeah, the bomb is the priest and the whiskey's the light
And I'm drinking my freedom all through the night
The man in the mirror is looking for a fight
But I'll down the line till he's out of my sight
I don't need a compass and I don't need a map
I'm perfectly happy in this velvet line trap
The chain is still there, it's just covered in gold
And the story of survival is starting to unfold
Oh, I'm drinking my freedom one swallow at a time
Leaving the mountains of worry behind
It's a bittersweet salvation and a dark hearted grace
Washing the history right off of my face
Yeah, the bomb is the priest and the whiskey's the light
And I'm drinking my freedom all through the night
You can't catch a man who's already gone
I'll be halfway to nowhere by the break of the dawn
Drinking my freedom
And nobody's bleeding
The spirit is leading
I'm drinking my freedom
Drinking my freedom
The spirit is leading
