Bottle
I will be by your side if you need me night and day,
I will be the one that wrecks your family life, is that okay?
I will swerve and curve your emotions and cause you to crash
your car in the street,
I will make you say things that you'll soon regret and like a drum on
your children you shall continuously beat,
I'll make you appear unattractive, and slowly cause
you to lose the ability to constructively think,
I am that cheap, 80-proof bottle of poison that you so willingly
drink,
I thought that you were a genie when I was a child because of your
ability to stay in a bottle.
And I can say or do anything that I want to you because
I know you won't remember this tomorrow.
