Mike River - Liquor and Blood

I’ve been caged in the bottle; I couldn’t climb out
Looking up it ain’t easy, I let your hand go somehow
This far down in the hole, there’s no sign of blue skies
Just a black open hollow, that’ll cut through your mind

I’m wondering when this is all over
Will you see me for who I once was?
Not a burden left bleeding out memories
In this cell made of liquor and blood

Faint thoughts about heartache, and borrowing time
Rush from my veins like a lost lullaby
45 rounds a minute, when the needle it falls
Til’ this old worn out record, just won’t play at all

I’m wondering when this is all over
Will you see me for who I once was?
Not this echo of guilt you leave dying
In this cell made of liquor and blood

Now this prisons so clear I can see it
I release you, it’s time to atone
Can’t keep singing this Swan Song forever
You should walk out and leave me alone

I’m wondering when this is all over
Will you gather the strength to move on?
Let me die here alone, you can’t save me
From this cell made of liquor and blood
Let me die here alone, you can’t save me
From this cell made of liquor and blood.

I’ve been caged in the bottle; I couldn’t climb out
