[pre hook] Bottles and pain… Bottles help carry it away. Pain stays here everyday. Empty bottles on display. Bottles… Pain… Bottles… Cause the pain. [verse one] Why is it easier to drown this pain away Than to face it everyday? Why do I think a bottle will numb my pain? Knowing nothing will change. It feels good to laugh and cry. Some days there are no dry eyes. Others are filled with laughing pain. Another bottle- here I go again. One more night to stay away. One more sip to feel ok. One more hour, I’ll be just fine. One more day that ain’t mine. [hook] Bottles and pain… Bottles help carry it away. Pain stays here everyday. Empty bottles on display. Bottles and pain… Aren’t they the same? One’s liquid, One’s in my brain. Both slowly taking my breath away. Bottles… Pain… Bottles… Cause the pain. [verse two] I try to drowned the pain. I try to stay busy all day. It’s never fully gone, Just sometimes a delay. I didn’t used to hurt all over my body. I didn’t used to battle internally. I never saw this coming, I didn’t choose this fraternity. Life has thrown all its storms. It’s left me scars and mental torture. Images of my past, scars on my heart, This isn’t the life I ordered! [hook] Bottles and pain… Bottles help carry it away. Pain stays here everyday. Empty bottles on display. Bottles and pain… Aren’t they the same? One’s liquid, One’s in my brain. Both slowly taking my breath away. Bottles… Pain… Bottles… Cause the pain. [outro] Bottles and pain. Pills help numb this again. Liquor helps me pretend. Bottles of pills, Doctor’s orders. My brain is this pains boarder. Bottles don’t stop it. Pills only mask it. I’ll find a way to stop it! I’ll make a way to block it. Pain everyday. My life is this way. Bottles and pain… Happiness betrayed. [spoken outro] I’ll find a way to make this stop. Bottles never solve the pain. A lying mask without gain. I’ll make this work, it will not win- this pain!
