Reflections in a Bottle
Marty Helly 1978. 2001


Waste away my life
Facing every day
Working on another bottle of gin
Wish that I could know
Would someone please tell me
How to get out of this state I'm in


Because I'm killing myself slowly
I'm dying all the time
This poison that's inside me keeps me going
I am so alone
Hiding in my bottle
To try and keep my loneliness
From showing


Times always so short
It seems to fly on by
Hung over in the morning and drunk at night
If I could touch your hand
See the smile on your face
Maybe I'd have the courage to set things right


But I am killing myself slowly
I'm dying all the time
This poison that's inside me keeps me going
I am so alone
Hiding in my bottle
To try and keep my loneliness
From showing


A smile on my face
Glazed look in my eyes
Stare at the glass and take another shot
There's a reflection in the bottle
I see your picture on the wall
Reminding me again of what I haven't got


So I keep killing myself slowly
I'm dying all the time
This poison that's inside me keeps me going
I am so alone
Hiding in my bottle
To try and keep my loneliness
From showing
