I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in bottles And scraping the bottom Hoping that I may be found there I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in medication And swallowing the hardest of pills Seeking refuge in the numbness I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in people And cleaning myself after the lust Just feeling more lost than before I've spent countless hours Talking others down from suicide And hating every reassuring word That comes out of my lying mouth I've spent countless hours Staring at myself in the mirror And working on my smiles and laughs So that they seem real and authentic And I've spent countless hours Regretting all these hours wasted

Hours
I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in bottles And scraping the bottom Hoping that I may be found there I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in medication And swallowing the hardest of pills Seeking refuge in the numbness I've spent countless hours Searching for myself in people And cleaning myself after the lust Just feeling more lost than before I've spent countless hours Talking others down from suicide And hating every reassuring word That comes out of my lying mouth I've spent countless hours Staring at myself in the mirror And working on my smiles and laughs So that they seem real and authentic And I've spent countless hours Regretting all these hours wasted
