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!
