The Bottle Is A River

SWBEATS @ SUNO • 2026 • 😎 Shadows stretching slowly 'cross the wooden floor Silence ringing louder since he walked right out the door He packed his promises inside a cardboard box Left me with the echoes and the ticking of the clocks I poured my sorrow in a solitary glass Watching every fragile second fracture as it passed Spiraling down Where the daylight drowns Wearing a heavy crown Of amber and regret Oh-h-h the bottle is a river but it only leads to dust It washes out the memories and oxidizes trust I surrendered to the current, let the whiskey pull me deep Trading every waking moment for artificial sleep Dust gathered on the mantle, mirrors turned their face I became a phantom inhabiting an empty space Stumbling through the twilight, losing all control Digging out a sanctuary deep within the hole Spiraling down Where the daylight drowns Wearing a heavy crown Of amber and regret Oh-h-h the bottle is a river but it only leads to dust It washes out the memories and oxidizes trust I surrendered to the current, let the whiskey pull me deep Trading every waking moment for artificial sleep Do not surrender to the shadows of the night. Remember every morning bathed in golden light. You have a reservoir of courage in your veins. Rise above the sorrow, sever all these chains. I poured the poison out onto the barren earth Welcomed in the quiet of a difficult rebirth The dawn is breaking open, painted bruised and red But I am walking forward, leaving behind the dead Oh-h-h the bottle was a river but I stepped onto the shore I will not let the whiskey pull me under anymore Life is far too precious, an ephemeral embrace Stand your ground against the dark with unyielding grace Stay strong. Whatever shatters. You are breathing.
