Description
A song about addiction as I watched my Dad drown himself in booze and drugs from an early age, doing my best to never become what he once was.
Lyrics
I never meant to be your weekend hero, I Always meant to keep you near, I never meant to hurt you all, the fear, becoming a replaceable zero. Locked in this prison, I look within, only to find no redemption's in line. Seeing my life gone, wishing I'd gone along. I do all this to ease the pain, but all I've ever done is drive you away! I know I lost, but this bottle in my hand makes me feel like I won and a bigger man; rain falls upon us, knowing we'll never be the same! Drown me in holy water, set me free! These chains I can't break, these demons I can't shake, I look to the light, shut the blinds. Sneak in my addiction to this dark room, hoping no one finds out the things I do. Gone for days, no notes left behind, to stop their pain, you all wish I died. I know I lost, but this bottle in my hand makes me feel like I won and a bigger man; rain falls upon us, knowing we'll never be the same! Drown me in holy water, set me free! -(solo)- I know I lost, but this bottle in my hand makes me feel like I won and a bigger man; rain falls upon us, knowing we'll never be the same! Drown me! Drown me! Just drown me in holy water! -(x2)- You know you have a problem, when you, hit rock bottom, but if you still don't think you have one, you still have six-feet more to go.
