[Verse] Clicked a link thought I'd found gold Promised riches stories untold Now my bank is sitting there so bare Guess I learned that life's not fair [Verse 2] Heard the siren call of easy cash Now my dreams are just smoke and ash Sweet-talking devil took my dough Left me with the cold hard truth to know [Chorus] Got the cyber blues feeling so wrong Sang my heart out to an empty song Trust broke down on a wire so thin Don't know where the real world begins [Verse 3] Sold me tales of fortunes grand But now I'm empty pockets and empty hands Screen lit up with promises bright Now I'm sitting here in the dimmest light [Verse 4] Masked bandits on the other side No badges no rules just pure hide Lost it all while searching for sin Internet's a game where no one wins [Bridge] Typing woes in the middle of the night Every keystroke a lost fight Can't erase the debts I’ve made In the web of lies and trust betrayed

[Verse] Lights are dim the bar's awake I'm here again for heaven's sake Looking for a lifeline where fires rage Pain spills out from my glass stage [Verse 2] Shadows dancing on the walls Echoes of my heady calls Life’s a blur the pouring's deep Promises are hard to keep [Chorus] Whining for my whiskey feel the burn Every sip a lesson we never learn Drowning sorrows night by night Hoping maybe this time it feels right [Bridge] Silhouettes of memories fade In the amber night parade Hollow laughs and smoky skies Seeking truth in whispered lies [Verse 3] Hollow steps on cracked wood floor Disappearing through the door Eyes that haunt like midnight seas Whiskey dreams and broken pleas [Chorus] Whining for my whiskey feel the burn Every sip a lesson we never learn Drowning sorrows night by night Hoping maybe this time it feels right
