Evan Nebo - Timber Lyrics

[Intro]
Watching daddy's hands shake while he's holding that bottle
Silent tears, hidden scars, everything starts to crumble

[Verse 1]
Factory lights flicker like the hope in his eyes
Working double shifts just to keep them lies
Calloused hands can't hide the trembling inside
Pride's wearing thin, but he still tries to smile
Machinery echoes through these hollow halls
Like the way his footsteps stumble down our walls
Every morning same routine, same pain
Same bottle hidden from the morning rain

[Chorus]
Watch him fall like timber, slowly breaking down
Crown of thorns, working man's forgotten crown
Like timber, timber, crashing to the ground
Can't save him now, can't save him now
(Can't save him, can't save him now)

[Verse 2]
Inherited these demons, passed down through the years
Blue collar nightmares drowned in whiskey tears
Mama said he used to shine so goddamn bright
Before the factory ate his soul at night
Now I see the same shadows creeping in my veins
Fighting off this weakness, swallowing this pain
Some days I catch my reflection, see his face
Same empty eyes, same f*cking place

[Bridge]
They say real men don't break
But I've seen giants fall like timber
In this concrete maze
We're all just waiting for winter

[Chorus]
Watch him fall like timber, slowly breaking down
Crown of thorns, working man's forgotten crown
Like timber, timber, crashing to the ground
Can't save him now, can't save him now
(Can't save him, can't save him now)

[Outro]
Every bottle's a forest burning down
Every tear's a legacy drowning
Watch us fall like timber
Silent, proud, and breaking
Like father, like son, we keep fading
