Message In a Bottle

I see you’re so alone and abandoned your head in your hands, I wonder: “why"? Your heart, it feels betrayed and broken And you don’t care if you live or die Yeah, you’ve searched deep inside every bottle And you never found any message there Yeah, your soul is in pain, and it drives you insane There’s no message in a bottle, you don’t care You’ve got to start taking care of yourself man You’ve been running away far too long Time to screw your head on straight; you know it’s not too late Get to moving before your soul is gone You’re a diamond Yeah you’re looking pretty rough You’re a lot of talk, but you don’t look very tough Maybe years ago you were, but you’ve outlived your glory daze Can you see through the bottle’s bottom? Or is there a blinding haze? Yeah, you’ve searched deep inside every bottle And you never found any message there Yeah, your soul is in pain, and it drives you insane There’s no message in a bottle, you don’t care You’ve got to start taking care of yourself man You’ve been running away far too long Time to screw your head on straight; you know it’s not too late Get to moving before your soul is gone You’re abandoned, on the street & all alone! You got a place to be, but you don’t like to call it home! You’re a diamond! Yeah, you think you’ll never die! Keep on looking inside that bottle, you’re gonna find out that’s a lie!

Thank you so much for the edification Dana. It means the world to me when I get praise on my works. I have to confess: I am not much of a reader and am at best, a small amount above average when it comes to my education. I am and have always been a "hands-on" individual. It's how I learn in every aspect of my life and is a blessing but a curse at the same time. But as a result, I think I write well but am not so sure of how well. All I know: I write from experience and from my heart and soul :)
