I spend far too many nights sleeping with empty bottles That once held the liquor I drown my sorrows in I sleep far too little The baggage under my eyes is so apparent That a permanent shadow resides beneath my hollow eyes I spend too much time loving all the wrong people And loving nobody at all I stay out till 5am with people I don't care much for Just because I know they can offer me everything I want; Drugs and alcohol. I wake up with cuts and bruises, And sometimes with no recollection of my past night I slit my flesh open out of bordem And I kiss my whiskey bottle more than any boy or girl I have ever dated I am in love with freeing myself from my mind With the high liquor and drugs offer But when I am awake and sober I always realize that I'm never really "free" 'Life'... it's a trap And no amount of ***** and drugs will set you free Well, that is as long as breath is still willing itself In and out of your pathetic body

Life
I spend far too many nights sleeping with empty bottles That once held the liquor I drown my sorrows in I sleep far too little The baggage under my eyes is so apparent That a permanent shadow resides beneath my hollow eyes I spend too much time loving all the wrong people And loving nobody at all I stay out till 5am with people I don't care much for Just because I know they can offer me everything I want; Drugs and alcohol. I wake up with cuts and bruises, And sometimes with no recollection of my past night I slit my flesh open out of bordem And I kiss my whiskey bottle more than any boy or girl I have ever dated I am in love with freeing myself from my mind With the high liquor and drugs offer But when I am awake and sober I always realize that I'm never really "free" 'Life'... it's a trap And no amount of ***** and drugs will set you free Well, that is as long as breath is still willing itself In and out of your pathetic body
