Deep Into the Bottle

You've fallen into oblivion
And there's no turning back.
Your heart is completely frozen,
Its icy shell will never crack.
You sit in your fortress
And hurl words like knives,
Never truly realizing
Their effect on our lives.
You're drained of life and love,
Becoming an empty human shell.
Stop dancing with the Devil,
Before he drags you down to Hell.
You'll never know how I suffer
Watching your plight,
But your love for the bottle
Is something I could never fight.
