God in a Bottle
Anson Lyrics

Yeah I found god in a bottle and he let me drown,
I discovered a means of escape and solace in alcohol, but it ultimately led me into deeper despair and self-destruction.

And I knew at some point I had to let these demons down,
I recognized that I needed to confront and release the inner struggles and negative influences that have been weighing me down.

Cause they are heavy on my back,
These burdens and vices cling to me like a weight, refusing to let go and allowing no respite.

They burn my stomach like a shot of fire with a hint of Jack,
They consume me from the inside, causing a searing pain and discomfort akin to a fiery shot of alcohol.

And it shakes through my bones,
The emotional turmoil and turmoil I experience permeate my being, causing tremors and instability within me.

It's my heart begging me to find a way to become whole again,
The longing within my heart urges me to seek a path towards inner healing and rediscovering a sense of completeness.

To become whole again,
To regain the sense of unity and contentment that I have lost along the way.

Cause we might be all messed up,
Acknowledging that we are broken and flawed individuals.

We might have no friends to love,
Finding ourselves devoid of genuine companionship and affection from others.

But from the dark we can rise,
Despite our struggles and pain, we have the ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger.

Heal our wounds and our pride,
Through this journey, we can mend the scars within us, both physical and emotional, and restore our sense of self-worth.

Just keep singing ooo,
Continuing to express ourselves and find solace in music, using it as a form of therapy and emotional release.

I've lost lives through the cracks,
I have suffered significant losses and missed opportunities due to my own weaknesses and mistakes.

Burned some bridges never looked back,
I have intentionally severed connections and relationships without remorse or concern for the consequences.

I leave this smile on my face,
I wear a facade of happiness and contentment, masking the true pain and dissatisfaction within.

To show the world the reflection of the man that I hate,
This false smile allows others to see a distorted image of myself, one that aligns with the negative perception I hold towards myself.

Cause I'm lost and falling down,
I am deeply confused and spiraling downwards, feeling disconnected from my purpose and direction in life.

It's funny being the one that you think love doesn't deserve to be found,
Finding irony in the belief that I, as an individual burdened with self-hatred, should not be capable of experiencing love and acceptance.

And I'm talking out loud,
Speaking my thoughts and emotions aloud, perhaps as a form of catharsis and self-expression.

But life shouldn't feel like your head is floating in the clouds,
Life should not be a constant state of detachment and disorientation, where one feels disconnected from reality.

And it's so sad,
Expressing a deep sense of sadness and disappointment in the current state of affairs.

Cause we might be all messed up,
Acknowledging our brokenness and flaws once again.

We might have no friends to love,
Highlighting the absence of meaningful relationships and a lack of love from others.

But from the dark we can rise,
Reiterating the potential for personal growth and resilience even in the face of adversity.

Heal our wounds and our pride,
Emphasizing the importance of addressing not only physical wounds but also the deep emotional scars and restoring our sense of self-worth and dignity.

Just keep singing ooo,
Continuing to find solace, hope, and emotional release through the act of singing and expressing ourselves.

So as I fall through the darkness I try my best to breathe,
During this descent into darkness and hardship, I strive to maintain composure and continue breathing, symbolizing the will to persevere.

Cause I'm so close I'm so close,
Expressing a sense of imminent progress and the proximity to a breakthrough or personal transformation.

To getting on my feet, yeah
To finally attaining stability, both physically and emotionally, and finding solid ground to stand upon.

Been holding on for so long, not letting up now no no no, we will rise.
Despite enduring immense challenges and refusing to give up, we will persevere and ultimately overcome, emerging stronger than before.
