Half Alive

I woke up inside a whiskey bottle Not sure if I drowned in booze or lost hopes In the dawn I rose from the darkness of hell Another chance, another dead end The devil tempts me with my sins Tells me always I can win If only I fall back into the arms Of the mistress of past sins I stared Into the mirror of hope What I saw Was hopeless So I fell back asunder in a bottle Not sure if I drowned in sorrow Woke up on a road to nowhere Walked back to half a life My smiles are all the wrapping For a package of withered sorrows Scared by cruel winds over the passing of years Torn right through the heart One more time I walk into the past Hoping to see some sign Could my path be other than divined? The eyes in the dark seek me out They see the cold inside my heart Half lies live within The haunted house of my soul
