Verse 1 Woke up on a floor I don’t recall Empty bottles lined the wall Little white pills in a paper cup Another night just to fill me up Pre-Chorus The dream’s long gone, but the pain still stays I chase it down in a thousand ways Chorus Bottles, pills and the blues Killing the pain but it cuts right through Once had the world, now I’m losing me Bottles, pills and the blues Sing my heart but it’s out of tune Trying to drown what I can’t set free Verse 2 Curtains closed on a hollow stage Echoes haunt and the debts still rage Friends are gone, just ghosts on the phone I drink and swallow to feel less alone Pre-Chorus The dream’s long gone, but the pain still stays I chase it down in a thousand ways Chorus Bottles, pills and the blues Killing the pain but it cuts right through Once had the world, now I’m losing me Bottles, pills and the blues Sing my heart but it’s out of tune Trying to drown what I can’t set free Bridge Can’t find heaven in a hotel room Can’t fix a heart with a needle’s tune Every cure’s another chain Every drink just feeds the pain Chorus Bottles, pills and the blues Killing the pain but it cuts right through Once had the world, now I’m losing me Bottles, pills and the blues Sing my heart but it’s out of tune Trying to drown what I can’t set free Outro Bottles, pills and the blues… Still chasing numb, still paying dues
