Learn the Lyrics: Sober by Bad Wolves

Bad Wolves is an American heavy metal band formed in 2017. They are best known for their 2018 cover of the Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Zombie”.

The band consists of vocalist Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy, ex-Snot, ex-Westfield Massacre), drummer John Boecklin (ex-DevilDriver), lead guitarist Doc Coyle (ex-God Forbid), rhythm guitarist Chris Cain (ex-Bury Your Dead, ex-For the Fallen Dreams) and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex-In This Moment, ex-Scar the Martyr, Vimic). They are managed by Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch.

The rock veteran band has recently released a new single title ‘sober’. This track has been soaring to the top of the charts, and brings awareness to a good cause.

“This song was a unique opportunity to talk about addiction not only from the perspective of the addict but also from the perspective of their loved ones. The message is very different from traditional songs that seem to always perpetuate a mentality of self victimization which is exactly the kind of misguided thinking that perpetuates the mental obsessive side of alcoholism & addiction.In the end the moral of the story is about holding on to not giving up on ourselves or the people who are trying – who are really, really trying to make and better themselves.”- Tommy Vext

Check out the lyrics and the new track from Bad Wolves below:

For a moment I can wait
It’s a fight I guess I’ll never know
For a moment I can wait
I’m holding onto hope
And I know you’re stoned, I can see it
The struggle’s getting old
For a moment I can wait
‘Cause you said you’re sober
Lying and I can’t get closer
Tell me, should I let you go?
Tell me, should I let you go?
‘Cause you said you’re sober
Lying and I can’t get closer
Tell me, should I let you go?
Tell me, should I let you go?
Every moment I’m awake
It’s a fight that you could never know
Every moment I’m awake
I’m clinging onto hope
And I feel so low, but I’m dealing
The struggle’s getting old
Every moment I’m awake
But I’m getting sober
Trying but I can’t get closer
Baby, did you let me go?
Baby, did you let me go?
Now I’m getting sober
Trying but I can’t get closer
Baby, did you let me go?
Baby, did you let me go?
On and on we pray
Thinking ’bout time and our mistakes
Thinking ’bout time, thinking ’bout time
‘Cause it’s about time
On and on we pray
Thinking ’bout time and our mistakes
Thinking ’bout time, thinking ’bout time
‘Cause it’s about time
So don’t say it’s over
Waiting here while you get sober
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m never gonna let you go
So don’t say it’s over
Waiting here while you get sober
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m never gonna let you go
On and on we pray
Thinking ’bout time and our mistakes
Thinking ’bout time, thinking ’bout time
‘Cause it’s about time
On and on we pray
Thinking ’bout time and our mistakes
Thinking ’bout time, thinking ’bout time
It’s about time
