Deeper Into the Bottle

Your heart is gone
And your soul is black.
You don't care anymore,
So there's no turning back.
When you feel love,
You lash out in hate.
When everything goes wrong,
I bet you feel great.
How much longer
Can you push everyone away?
Do you really want to
Be alone to your dying day?
I'm so sick of this...
This painfully obvious lie.
You're not happy,
I bet you want to die.
As you sit in your house
And pour another drink,
Don't you see what you missed?
Don't you ever think?
Just forget about me
And pour another beer.
I know it hurts, even if
You're too drunk to shed a tear.
