[Verse 1]
Bottle glows like a false halo
Under flickering kitchen light
I pour the liquid ghost again
Just to feel something tonight
Empty rooms and spinning walls
Promises I never keep
This thirst was never just for drink
It’s deeper than the sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I was hunting for a heaven
In the bottom of a glass
Mistook the burning for a blessing
While the real one slipped right past
[Chorus]
Spiritus contra spiritum
One spirit kills, one spirit frees
I fed the hungry ghost inside
With every poisoned peace
Spiritus contra spiritum
Higher light against the flame
The craving was a holy hunger
Wearing alcohol’s name
[Verse 2]
Years of blackouts, borrowed time
Talking to the ceiling fan
Thought the numbness was communion
Thought the shake was something grand
Woke up on the bathroom floor
Mouth full of copper and regret
The bottle whispered “wholeness”
But it only left me wet
[Pre-Chorus]
Same old sacred ache inside me
Looking for a place to land
I kept answering with poison
With a trembling, empty hand
[Chorus]
Spiritus contra spiritum
One spirit kills, one spirit frees
I fed the hungry ghost inside
With every poisoned peace
Spiritus contra spiritum
Higher light against the flame
The craving was a holy hunger
Wearing alcohol’s name
[Bridge]
Jung’s letter burning in my pocket
Bill’s old words still ringing true
You can’t fight the devil’s liquor
With more of what it used to do
So I reached past the glass and neon
Past the shakes and past the shame
Toward the spirit that don’t leave you
Crawling back for more of the same
[Chorus]
Spiritus contra spiritum
Spirit rising through the wreck
I trade the bottle for the longing
That the bottle tried to wreck
Spiritus contra spiritum
No more false gods in the night
This thirst was always for the infinite
And I’m learning how to fight
[Outro]
Spirit against spirit…
One of them has to die…
Spirit against spirit…
I choose the higher sky…
