Rick Flowers – December 22, 2008
It seems as though I’m searching for
The pieces of my life
At the bottom of a bottle
That never does runs dry
And stranger still is I don’t know
Just what those pieces are
That brought me to where I am today
With no way to heal the scar
I guess somehow I think I’ll find
Some happiness someday
But the bottom of this bottle
Is always gray
So I guess I’ll just keep drinking
This booze that runs my life
And I guess I’ll just keep thinking
It will end this pain and strife
But the more that I keep drinking
It seems I’m just one step ahead
Of having to face the monster
That wants to see me dead
As I look back in the darkness
Of a past that once was hell
I see nothing but a lonely man
Who has stumbled, and who has fell
My mind tells me I’ll win this fight
But this bottle is still in my hand
The bottom is always empty
So I just don’t understand
So I guess I’ll just keep drinking
This booze that runs my life
And I guess I’ll just keep thinking
It will end this pain and strife
And I guess I’ll just keep praying
I’ll keep one step ahead
But one day I know you’ll find me
Lonely, alone…….or dead.
