Liquid In A Bottle

by Dan   Mar 2, 2006


The liquid in this bottle will dry up my tears, while hiding my fears
They tell me it's a disease I've had it for years
The consequences of my drinking not totally unveiled
But running amuck like a train derailed
When I was drinking I hadn't a care in the world, at least not for the night
I'd be buried in bottle with no end in site
I started drinking young and drank for thirty years
Never realized the consequences of gulping down beers
I am not stupid but I am a fool
The reasons I drank was just to be cool
I wear a disguise and what they think they know, I wont let them see
I shield their eyes to the pain that's hidden in me
Along with this drink I'd take a pill
It's a deadly mixture that could surely kill
I used it to think but would drown in sorrow
In hopes to heal but embarrassed by tomorrow
In this moment I am numb happy and carefree
I laugh at my faults, but its destroying me
But now I have asked God to rid me of this pain inside
Because in this bottle I can no longer hide
I ask you God to free me from this desire
Because I have been to the depths of hells fire
I ask you God walk with me
Lend me your hand when I no longer can see
And thank you for restoring my sanity
