Lyrics
THE DEMON IN THE BOTTLE
YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH YOUR HEAD A POUNDING LIKE A DRUM
YOUR INSIDES FEEL LIKE COMIN UP, WHERE'D THAT ALL COME FROM
YOU SIT AND THINK HOW'D I GET HERE, THE POSITION THAT I'M IN
THE BOTTLE IS A DEMON AND WITH IT YOU JUST WON'T WIN
SO YOU GRAB ONTO WHAT'S LEFT, OF THE DRINK FROM YESTERDAY
JUST TO GET YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY
NOW YOUR FEELIN BETTER AND GRAB ANOTHER DRINK
JUST HOPING THAT IT STAYS DOWN AND NOT RIGHT DOWN THE SINK
CHORUS
GIVE IT UP, THROW IT AWAY THAT DEMON IN A BOTTLE
GIVE IT UP, THROW IT AWAY ,IT'LL TEAR YOUR LIFE APART
GIVE IT UP, THROW IT AWAY,SEND YOU DOWN A DEADEND TRAIL
THE ENDING THAT IS DOWN THAT ROAD,WILL TAKE YOUR LIFE SOMEDAY
BY NOW THE ALCOHOL HAS KICKED IN AND YOUR DAY IS HUMMIN BY
BY NOW THE BOTTLE GRIPS YOU, CAN'T LET IT GO YOU'VE TRIED
YOURE CAPTIVE TO THIS HABIT AND DYING OH SO SLOW
SO TAKE LOOK AT YOURSELF YA GOTTA LET IT GO
I SAY ALL THIS TO TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN DOWN THAT DEADEND ROAD
OF CLINGING TO THE BOTTLE AND CARRYING THIS HEAVY LOAD
YOU CAN GIVE ALL THIS UP AND GET YOUR HEAD ON RIGHT
INSTEAD OF DRINKING YOURSELF TO DEATH YOU HAVE TO BUILD A BRAND NEW LIFE
