Jinx flipped a guitar pick out. And Miami laughed again. “Well, hello, Black Rock.”

The crowd screamed.

I gave them a salute before heading back to the kit. I wasn’t going to take up too much time, and I felt cooler now.

“As a big hello to all you Rocktoberfest lovers, let’s go ahead and pull out one of the big guns. This one is calledWhiskey Gone.”

Dropped the bottle

In the trash

Another bottle of whiskey gone

There's an itch

Like a rash

Never be the same

Now you're gone

I kept the beat up, but the words to the song hit me harder than ever. But theyouthat was gone in the song was not a person for me. It was an intangible thing.

Drinking again

Thinking again

Wondering where you are

Who you doing?

Where's the ruing?

Seize my day

Not begging you to stay

Need another drink

Where's the bar

Whiskey's in the trash

Another bottle gone

I can't stop the scratch

Whisky gone

If I could name that thing, maybe I could figure it out. I wasn’t askingwhere’s the bar, but where the fuck was my joint? It was drugs. But it was more than that. The drugs were more. They kept me cool, calm. They made me feel like I was the rockstar I wanted to be. It represented something that I wasn’t sure I was ready to let go of. Or I was making this shit up in my head. It was an excuse.

You're never the same

Drinking till I don't…

Know my own name

Feels like you're gone
