poison in a bottle, trying to drown all the pain
i can only see the bottom, still i jump anyway.
a pill hard to swollow pulsing through my veins.
Doing everything to numb this fucking pain.
powder straight to the brain, trying to stand up straight.
tell me why i crawl, back into the fire
tell me why i fall, for all the same desires
that breaks my soul and takes me higher
i keep saying this is it, then take another hit
same old war that never ends.
i’m unrecognizable in my own skin
this mask im living in, is all pretend.
i say im fine
i say its the last time
oops i lied again
tell me why i crawl, back into the fire
tell me why i fall, for all the same desires
that breaks my soul and takes me higher
i keep saying this is it, then take another hit
let me kill the monster, and set myself free
i hate that the bottle gets the best part of me
speeding all day, then get high all night
this battle inside of me always on repeat.
at the end of the day, im at war with me
tell me why i crawl, back into the fire
tell me why i fall, for all the same desires
that breaks my soul and takes me higher
i keep saying this is it, then take another hit
reaching for the bottle, need one but i’ll have two
anything to numb the pain and stop the shakes
i’ve been drowning in the same old ache
the room spins slow as my vision starts to fade.
called my mom crying said “im done this time”
i held the line, then i let it bend
i stayed too long, fuck i’m high again
crossed every line i saw the end
and went back again.
