What are you searching for at the bottom of that bottle?
Any message to be found, I'm sure you swallowed long ago.
I lose sight of you with every shot glass emptied.
-watch as you grasp at the shadows of the charisma upon which you rely.
You commit to the role of comedian perfectly; ironic
Your wit dulled along with your senses.
- like a court jester with no head to lose.
But someone like you should never play the fool.
"I love you's" mean less when tainted with tastes of whiskey.
And I just want you to want me like I'm that last drop...
I'm not asking you to let me be your sobriety.
I understand dependency...
I know I complicate recovery...
with my red wines and reminiscing.
- and I just want to clear your head like coffee beans...
You tell me I'm intoxicating
- and I don't know how to tell you I don't want to be just another drug.
