Another Empty Bottle

(album: Katy Mac Throwbacks - 2012)

Mama was a bit naive, and her Daddy was a blinded thief
He went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out
Angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep

And she lies tonight underneath a caving roof
And she cries tonight wondering what she can do
And she tries tonight remembering who she once knew
But they've died inside
Another empty bottle takes a life.

This world can be so cruel
She lives her life as a broken tool
And she believes she's unable to fix this broken machine
And what's the use to throw yourself at love
If in the end it never seems enough
To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams
She watched her father live in regret
Heard her mother cry in an empty bed
And she swears this is the best life gets

And she lies tonight underneath a caving roof
And she cries tonight wondering what she could do
And she tries tonight but she's out of memories that she once knew
And she dies inside
Another empty bottle takes a life.

And every little bit, every little bit of her wants to see that light
Oh, but every single night another little bit of her dies inside
She's trapped in her mind
She feels more alive, she feels more alive in her own dreams
And she's wondering
What's beyond the sky, could she see the light if she falls asleep
'Cause she feels more alive in her own dreams

So tonight she lies, lifted up through her own roof
Dried eyes tonight, there's nothing more that she could do
And they cry tonight, a daughter that they hardly knew
And she's lost in time
Another empty bottle takes a life.
