Turning Up The Bottle
(专辑: Next To Nothing - 2014)
[Verse 1:] He was a
cook at a
dead-end job, 26-years-old She moved back to Atlanta, fucked over by her father she had got disowned He was a
frustrated rapper that after so long he done quit and lost hope She was addicted to meth, so was everybody living in the
household Both of them worked on the
daytime shift On break time, kicked it and sparks just flew She said she heard through the
grapevine, he had a
girlfriend He told her "Nah we're through" But what they had in common was a
fucked up life Shit she'd experience, he had gone through, too Both of them thought that the
world was against them Childhood innocence gone too soon They hooked up and then she moved in With him and his parents, she was detoxing He did meth, too, it helped him write songs But he quit writing shit the
minute she got clean You would think that things got better but they didn't Cause instead of doing drugs they'd just sit around and drink Day in and day out cause they hate being sober, they broke as a
joke, and they think that [Hook:] Everything is bad, but it all seems OK When we're turning up the
bottle Trying to see the
sun but the
sky seems so gray Drowning in our sorrow Oh, oh, o-oh Turning up the
bottle Oh, oh, o-oh Drowning in our sorrow [Verse 2:] His parents kicked him out, they was sick of the
drinking, it was constant They moved in with his sister and her fiance at the
spot where her mom lived Now they can drink without a
conscious, no one was there to tell them it was time to grow up She worked nights at the
bar, but they shared one car, he would pick her up and drive home drunk When they drinking was the
only time that life don't suck Only problem was, they would fight so much Had to hide any guns in the
house cause they might go nuts Shoot each other, or they might go fuck It could go either way, '09 came, adios to '08 Both of them got laid off, so did her mom and her sister Facing foreclosure with nowhere to stay No dough put away, Ramon Noodles every night They applied everywhere to try to get a
job Looking like white trash, wearing hand-me-down clothes To the
job interviews, so nobody ever call Running out of time, running out of alcohol Maybe if they sobered up then the
shit would change But instead they keep on emptying the
piggy bank Up in the
liquor store buying something cheap to drank, because [Hook] [Verse 3:] He went to a
specialist, the
doctor said he had an ulcer in his stomach Probably cause he did and then he'd tried to make himself throw up and vomit Making room so he could drink cause he's a
drunk and he's a
glutton but the
combination's common But the
fact that he was young with stomach problems was alarming But the
ulcer wasn't cancerous, right then he made a
promise to his mama He would quit, he's full of shit he wasn't honest Cause he only went a
month and started chugging another bottle She was getting sick and always shaking, she's afraid Cause everything she ate was coming up and when she made a
date To see the
doctor, told him she's an alcoholic So they checked her liver noticed the
aluminum her [?] was way below the
[?] Plus the
color of her skin and mouth and tongue is turning yellow Indicating that she may have got cirrhosis of the
liver or maybe hepatitis Maybe nothing, told her not to drink a
lick of liquor But she never listens, turning up that bottle… Next to Nothing Ya-uh-yeah
