Lyrics

My grasp on the bottle was much too strong
Sick and wounded, I couldn’t drag myself along
Blind and reeling, I was defenseless against more
So I lined up my demons, and I went to war

Oh how the chain defied my teeth
And I struggled in vain
The bottle beat me down to my knees
While I chugged the last of my goodness and chased away my last name

But It starts with a whisper, it’s learning to crawl
And pretty soon that whisper, is standing up tall
No longer a drinker, I’ve surrendered it all
It starts with a whisper, and now I’m standing up
Tall, Tall, Tall, Tall

My outlook on living, I had it all wrong
I’d drown my sorrows and drag them along
Blind and reeling, I stumbled for the door
Reaching for the handle but I always found the floor

Oh how the chain defied my teeth
And I struggled in vain
The bottle beat me down to my knees
While I chugged the last of my goodness and chased away my last name

But It starts with a whisper, it’s learning to crawl
And pretty soon that whisper, is standing up tall
No longer a drinker, I’ve surrendered it all
It starts with a whisper, and now I’m standing up
Tall, Tall, Tall, Tall
