Green Bottles
Six60 · Six60 [2011]
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
