Story Behind The Song

This song is about alcohol addiction and the toll it takes on the body.

Song Description

Gritty rockin intro transforms into a groovy, bouncing bass line and ultimately into a funky yet bluesy chorus.

Lyrics

The bottle breaks and scrapes my hand
Washes away and drowns my plan forgotten with the truth
My mind's made up and will not change
Don't need an answer to explain addiction drowning you

Never thought I'd make it thru
Getting by in spite of you
You'll never prove me wrong
Waiting for it all day long
Taking a different path
To escape from your wraith
It takes a toll on me
Distorting reality
You cannot take away
Something that will never change
Hoping to go unseen
I don't owe you anything
Memories that aren't retained
Advantage that is not gained
What makes sense is now unclear
What's long gone is drawing near

The bottle helps me get thru the day until I get to
Tomorrow when I open my eyes and lift my head off the
Pillow figure out where I am and pay back the money I
Borrowed and then things back up I repeat the phase tomorrow

A growing force that's left unchecked
A dollar for the lives you've wrecked
You'll never make me pay
I don't owe you anything
The bottle's cold but does not freeze
The feeling's warm but does not please
I'm coming back for more
Pick me up off of the floor

The bottle helps me get thru the day until I get to
Tomorrow when I open my eyes and lift my head off the
Pillow figure out where I am and pay back the money I
Borrowed and then things back up I repeat the phase

Tomorrow seems so far away until it's here and gone today
I missed out, where were you?
People, parties, dancing girls, an empire that rules the world
With pleasure and abuse
