Bottled Away

This rainy poisoned sky keeps on giving
a path trodden, double paved

there are reasons for how I'm living
halfway lost and halfway saved

Do I have to break down in front of you
for you to know I'm hurting

They're always there behind the deeply do
issues we continue skirting

like I don't know the way I might behave
when that flood overtakes me

and I may just as well become its slave
bottled away it breaks me


I cannot blame this on my parents
I guess I can fuck up on my own
Bottled away it seems apparent
that I can still choose these paths alone


Glassy multi faceted entity
roiling waters underneath

Left with this hating disconnectedly
and the pain that they bequeathed


I cannot blame this on my parents
I guess I can fuck up on my own
Bottled away it seems apparent
that I can still choose these paths alone


Acid tears falling freely with my screams
falling gently to their deaths

Stuttered words, rasping mem'ry battered dreams
of closed eyes and whispered breaths

I'm lost behind the gates of past unlocked
history grips and takes me

and if we voice the rift the world is rocked
Bottled away it breaks me

I taste acrid wines of reciprocate
revenge won't leave a black hole

A vineyard of regret, remorse and hate
enough to steal away souls


I cannot blame this on my parents
I guess I can fuck up on my own
Bottled away it seems apparent
that I can still choose these paths alone
