Sober Yet Somber

In the bottom that's where I'll be

In the bottom of the bottle drifting off to sea

Bottom of an empty bottle sober as I can be

Because the bottle just as me is empty

Empty as can be, drifting off to sea

In an empty bottle, just the same as me

Still smells like whiskey but it has all dried out

Just me i am clean, and still feel empty

The bottom of the bottle tastes kind of sweet

If the glass breaks I'll be drowning in the sea

I will be filled with water, then I wouldn't be so empty

Somewhere in the bottom of the sea

There's someone just like me

Drifting in a empty bottle, trying to stay dry and clean

If my bottle break too, I wouldn't be alone

But if I make it far enough

Perhaps I'd find a home
