The bottle, your loyal companion,
Numbing your pain and fuelling your vice.
Dragging you deeper into the abyss,
Evading the value of your precious life.

Each warm sip, a false promise of solace,
Betraying your heart and ravaging your mind.
Shackled by the chains of hard addiction,
You become a prisoner to demons so unkind.

The cheer of old times fades to silence,
As the light in your eyes slowly dies.
Unsteady with no anchor to ground you,
Treading a sea of lonely unsettled demise.

You tell me you want to break free,
To see the world through sober eyes,
But the waves keep pulling you under,
As you drown in whiskey's tragic goodbye.

She had loved a broken boy
Who longed to be fixed
For someone to come along
And rebuild him bit by bit
For he loved people before her
But they broke his heart  
Made all his soft parts ruff
Made his world turn upside down
And made him jagged and tough
So he learned that your heart can be broken to easily
His heart was too willing to be loved
It wanted to be broken gently
Slowly deteriorate
So he built walls around his heart
To protect it from the love that it longed
And found other people to think about
And different  names to whisper in the night
He tried to leave the memory of her to rot
And sometimes he wonders if she remembers
The way they smiled at each other
Or maybe she just forgot.

Everyday and every night
Memories of you in my mine
Regrets for the old time
When you were still alive

Every step i take
Every move i make
I recall the day
When you drift away
Every single day
I will pray
I'll be missing you

Helding on to your lips last sound
I watch each petal falls down
Hoping you were around
With the wind in my hair,looking down town
I tell myself times around
I'll move on with no doubts
Cuz in my memories you stayed safe and sound
