Lyrics
### **[Verse 1]**
Muted power chords, clean tone, slow tempo
Glass half full but my soul’s half fucked
Whiskey on the table, I ain't lookin' back
Roses on the floor
Petals torn in two
Love’s a bitter sip
And tonight it’s all I’ll fucking do
Snare rim taps, slow build
---
### **[Chorus]**
Open chords, distorted, crash cymbals on every beat
**Whiskey and roses**
A heart that’s exposed
Burns like the bourbon
Sweet as it flows
**Whiskey and roses**
A story that closes
Love in the ashes
Bloom where it fucking goes
Double-time kick drum, ride cymbal shimmer
---
### **[Verse 2]**
Back to palm-muted guitar, hi-hat closed tight
She left her perfume in the cold night air
A trail of goodbye—I wasn’t fucking prepared
Whiskey's my preacher
It don’t ask why
Roses just wilt
While I learn to get by
Snare ghost notes, tension rising
---
### **[Prechorus]**
Clean arpeggios, toms rolling in
Every petal falls slow
Every sip lets me fucking go
Snare roll into chorus
---
### **[Chorus]**
Full distortion, crash-heavy drums
**Whiskey and roses**
A heart that’s exposed
Burns like the bourbon
Sweet as it flows
**Whiskey and roses**
A story that closes
Love in the ashes
Bloom where it fucking goes
Guitar slide down, cymbal choke
---
### **[Bridge]**
Breakdown: bass and kick only, heartbeat rhythm
Thorns in my hands from the shit I held tight
Whiskey in my veins keeps me warm tonight
If roses can fade
Then so can regret
But the whiskey reminds me
I can’t fucking forget
Distorted guitar swell, snare build
---
### **[Verse 3 – Extended Venom]**
Fast punk strumming, snare on 2 and 4
She fucked off with silence, no note, no sound
Just a ghost in my bed and a bottle I drowned
I kissed the rim of that glass like her lips
But it burned me harder than her goodbye did
Hi-hat open, crash accents
---
### **[Final Chorus – Shouted, stretched phrasing]**
**Whiskey and roses**
A heart that’s exposed
Burns like the bourbon
Sweet as it fucking flows
**Whiskey and roses**
A story that closes
Love in the ashes
Bloom where it fucking goes
Gang vocals, crowd chant cue: “WHISKEY! ROSES!” x2
