Bottom of the Bottle

Verse 1

Another night, same fucking bar

Same dim lights, same empty heart

I tell myself I’m fine this way

Just one more shot to numb the pain

I see my face in the glass again

Don’t recognize who I’ve been

Every sip just pulls me in

Like I’m better off like this

Pre-Chorus

I don’t wanna feel, don’t wanna think

So I drown it down, let it all sink

If I lose myself in this

Maybe I won’t fucking miss

Chorus

At the bottom of the bottle

I don’t hear the voices scream

It’s the only place I follow

Where I don’t feel anything

Yeah, I know it’s gonna kill me

But it’s killing me to breathe

So I’ll keep on fucking drowning

At the bottom of the bottle… leave me

Verse 2

Stumble home, can’t feel my hands

Keys drop twice, I barely stand

Every step’s a blurred-out line

Between being dead or just alive

(don’t think about it… drink it down)

(shut it up… don’t make a sound)

I swore I’d never need this shit

Now it’s the only thing that hits

Only thing that calms my head

Only thing that tucks me in bed

Pre-Chorus

I don’t call, I don’t reply

Let the world just pass me by

If I fade into the night

Would it even fucking matter why?

Chorus

At the bottom of the bottle

I don’t hear the voices scream

It’s the only place I follow

Where I don’t feel anything

Yeah, I know it’s gonna kill me

But it’s killing me to breathe

So I’ll keep on fucking drowning

At the bottom of the bottle… leave me

Instrumental Break – clean delayed guitar intro into heavy chugging riff, melodic lead crying over rhythm

Bridge

I can feel it taking hold

Turning blood to fucking cold

Every night I lose control

Piece by piece, I’m letting go

(this ain’t living… I don’t care…)

(leave me here… just leave me there…)

I know I’m slipping way too far

But I don’t know where you are

Breakdown – slow, crushing, slurred but heavy delivery

ONE MORE DRINK

ONE MORE LIE

I’M FUCKING DONE

BUT I WON’T TRY

LET ME SINK

LET ME ROT

THIS IS ALL

THAT I GOT

Chorus – final, layered with desperation

At the bottom of the bottle

I don’t hear the voices scream

It’s the only place I follow

Where I don’t feel anything

Yeah, I know it’s gonna kill me

But it’s killing me to breathe

So I’ll keep on fucking drowning

At the bottom of the bottle… leave me

Outro

(bottom of the bottle…)

That’s where I stay

(bottom of the bottle…)

Just fade away
