Another Empty Bottle

Mama was a bit naive

And her Daddy was a blinded thief

He went and stole away what was left

Of the remains of a family

She'd hide away behind a door

She kept locked

But the walls weren't thick enough to

Block out angry noises of the voices

That once soothed her to sleep

And she lies tonight

Underneath a caving roof

And she cries tonight

Wondering what she can do

And she tries tonight

Remembering who she once knew

But they've died inside

Another empty bottle takes a life

This world can be so cruel

She lives her life as a broken tool

And she believes she's unable to fix

This broken machine and what's the use

To throw yourself at love

If in the end it never seems enough

To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams

She watched her father live in regret

Heard her mother cry in an empty bed

And she swears

This is the best life gets

And she lies tonight

Underneath a caving roof

And she cries tonight

Wondering what she could do

And she tries tonight

But she's out of memories

That she once knew

And she dies inside

Another empty bottle takes a life

And every little bit every little bit

Of her wants to see that light

But every single night

Another little bit of her dies inside

She's trapped in her mind

She feels more alive

She feels more alive

In her own dreams

And she's wondering

What's beyond the sky

Could she see the light

If she falls asleep

Cause she feels more alive

In her own dreams

So tonight she lies

Lifted up through her own roof

Dried eyes tonight

There's nothing more

That she could do

And they cry tonight

A daughter that they hardly knew

And she's lost in time

Another empty bottle takes a life
