In a Bottle

Unwind after work
Stress just seems to melt away
Fun in a bottle

Drinks lead to more drinks
Alcohol consumed my life
Hide in a bottle

Nothing to live for
The years pass by in a blur
Time in a bottle

Looking at myself
Reflection of a lost soul
Stare in a bottle

After I climbed out
Life exists anew,for death
Lives in a bottle
