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!

Thank you so much for the edification Dana. It means the world to me when I get praise on my works. I have to confess: I am not much of a reader and am at best, a small amount above average when it comes to my education. I am and have always been a "hands-on" individual. It's how I learn in every aspect of my life and is a blessing but a curse at the same time. But as a result, I think I write well but am not so sure of how well. All I know: I write from experience and from my heart and soul :)
