Passed Out On The Bar

Lyrics from Lightning Stills and Junkyard Dan- Passed Out on the Bar

Passed Out on the Bar

Lyrics by Craig Fort

Mood swings and sweat. Hostility you’ll forget. Empty promises and lies. Slowed breath and donut eyes. Who’s fooling who? Are the lies for me or you? So I’m walking out that door as you turn around and take some more. You’re not the person I knew, in this haze you’re floating through. Swallows turn to rigs, nodding off smoking cigs. Confused you took some more, now you’re falling on the floor. When the light shines through your eyes as you’re coming to.. Wondering what you’ve done, so you take another one, 2, 3, 4. I hate to walk away but I’ve said all I have to say. You see I’ve been here before and I can’t go back through that door. I hope you find your way before we see another grave.

Song Story

You would think this song is about drinking. The “bar” I am referring to is a Xanax bar and other addictive prescription meds. It expresses the frustration of watching a parade of close friends go down due to pills.
