Hope In A Bottle

It’s the only way I get to bed without you
Like a bullet to the head, it hits the spot
And I might find something else to do
If it didn’t seem to work better with every drop

Does the same and does it well
But I’m still waking up here in hell
If I just don’t stop, let the liquid rise
Might flood me through
And when the raging tide subsides
So might these memories too

Chorus
Someone put hope in a bottle
And I’m the guy that they did it for
I’ll show my gratefulness by taking it all
Because I need it more and more

It’s the only way the hours don’t age me
Take more of me away
It’s the only way that I don’t think
I may never not feel pain

I’m somewhere dark and time goes on
I emerge and it’s never long
If I have some more, lose grip, slip free
Might wash me out
And I’ll wake up caught out at sea
With nothing but myself to think about

Chorus
Someone put hope in a bottle
And I’m the guy that they did it for
I’ll show my gratefulness by taking it all
Because I need it more and more

Someone put hope in a bottle
Because I need it more and more

It’s the only way that I don’t think
I may never not feel pain

I don't want to seem trite, but I love that triple-somersault with the negatives ... actually a quad if we consider "pain" a negative, which it certainly is.

Deep lyrics. Nice work.
