Pop the Top
Pop the top,
take a drink.
Sit back, relax,
close your eyes.
All is well.
Pop the top,
take a drink.
Let your drink
slide down your throat
to wash away your day.
Pop the top,
take a drink.
Just one more.
It doesn't matter.
Not with a drink in your hand.
Pop the top,
take a drink.
One last drink.
Just one more.
Always one more.
Pop the top,
take a good look.
Is this what I've become?
Always needing one more,
taking one more drink
to numb the pain.
Pop the top,
pour it down the drain.
One more drink
will make me numb,
but it won't change a thing.
Pop the top.
Close your eyes,
take a breath.
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be ok.
Let it out.
Pop the top,
not on a bottle,
but on your emotions.
Pop the top,
let it out.
Let the memories,
be washed away,
with one last good-bye.
Pop the top,
put it down,
walk away.
