Put The Bottle Down

I don't remember a smile

No kind words were spoke

Just an ashtray full of sin

Shattered glass from a bottle broke

Too young to know this pain

But there's nowhere to hide

I probably could've run

But I stood by my momma's side

When he p

ut the bottle down

There was silence in the air

You could see his eyes turn black

He drank the devil's blood I swear

This prison was our home

There were no angels to be found

And I would pray to God

For him to put the bottle down

When you're young you don't know heck

But it don't take long to learn

He was supposed to keep us safe

We got tortured in return

And I still wear these scars

And time can't heal

And your apology

It won't change the way I feel

When he put the bottle down

There was silence in the air

You could see his eyes turn black

He drank the devil's blood I swear

And this prison was our home

There were no angels to be found

And I would pray to God

For him to put the bottle down

The whiskey finally took his life

Stole his kids and his wife

He crossed over in his sleep

And there was no one there to weep

I had to put a bottle down

Convince myself to say goodbye

"In loving memory you'll be missed"

I curse this stone carved with a lie

And his prison's now your home

Fallen angels all around

At least I don't have to pray

For him to put the bottle down
