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
