Verse 1:
In the shadows of my mind, where the bottles lie,
Crumbling promises, whispers of goodbye.
Memories stained in whiskey and tears,
Drowning in laughter, but hiding the fears.
Chorus:
Oh, this bottle, it cradles my pain,
But it bleeds me dry, like a desert rain.
Sipping on solace, yet choking on fate,
The cure is a cage, and I’m locked in its weight.
Verse 2:
I once sought the comfort, each drop like a friend,
But the love it promised was twisted in the end.
Days turn to shadows, nights whisper my sins,
Every sip takes me closer, yet further from within.
Chorus:
Oh, this bottle, it cradles my pain,
But it bleeds me dry, like a desert rain.
Sipping on solace, yet choking on fate,
The cure is a cage, and I’m locked in its weight.
Bridge:
I’ve climbed the highest of mountains, swam the deepest of seas,
But the battle I fight is within me, it never sees peace.
Doctors and angels, they offer their hands,
But the love in the bottle, it quietly stands.
Verse 3:
And when morning breaks, it whispers regret,
I chase the next high, but no thrill’s there yet.
It’s a never-ending spiral, a dance with the dark,
As I’m searching for light, I’m left with the spark.
Chorus:
Oh, this bottle, it cradles my pain,
But it bleeds me dry, like a desert rain.
Sipping on solace, yet choking on fate,
The cure is a cage, and I’m locked in its weight.
Outro:
So here I stand, with a heart full of scars,
Trying to find hope, looking up at the stars.
With every farewell to the drink that I crave,
I’m battling demons, learning how to be brave.

i want it to be a song that just emotional about the heartbreak of having to give of the bottle (alcohol) but only because its going to lead to your demise. I want it to paint a picture of the internal turmoil that goes on and how much the drinking effects everything and everyone around them. I want there to be perspective, that the only reason that the alcohol truly helps is because there's so much pain that no doctor, pyschologist or drug can really mend. Its the only way to deal with suffering but also it just causes more pain because once your off the substance its like you are trying to find your next fix. Although the song should reference alcohol it should also be relatable to alot of peoples addictions whether it be alcohol, drugs, lust, eating etc. Id like this to be a song that gripped in pain and almost brings listeners that have gone through it to tears. It should be emotinal.
