Green Bottles

Six60 · Six60 [2011]

Now I'm stuck inside this motion

I cannot control

Feel like the waves of the ocean

On top me roll

So can I come up for air

There must be somebody swimming near

To pull me up

I can't breathe down here

But just long enough

So I loosen my fear

That I won't come up again

That I'll sink to the bottom of what I am

At least I'll go down

With a drink in my hand

Maybe that was the problem

To begin



Hold on, cause I'm addicted and I can't change

Oh the path I walk it remains the same

So if I get swept away, playing this game

Remember all that I used to be

Not what I became



Cause I'm addicted and I can't change

Yeah the path I walk it remains the same

So if I get swept away, playing this game

Remember all that I used to be

Not what I became

Oh yeah



Pop the lid

Fill me up and let us swim through my head

Get a sip

No, I can't do that you know

I'm unwell, yeah

But it ain't that easy

Ball and chain attached to my anatomy

Well buried deep inside of me

So far down

That I cannot see

It's so far down

That I cannot see



Cause I'm addicted and I can't change

Yeah the path I walk it remains the same

So if I get swept away, playing this game

Remember all that I used to be

Not what I became



Cause I'm addicted and I can't change

The path I walk it remains the same yeah

So if I get swept away, playing this game

Remember all that I used to be

Not what I became

Not what I became

Oh what I became

Not what I became
