lyrics

Once full of ships and tonics
And messages and medicine they sat now
Bottle lined the walls of the crowded little house
Once discarded and now collected for the old man’s gallery

He lined them up like soldiers in a row
Heroes and old friends I’d never known
Standing silent on the dusty shelves
Every bottle had a story he could tell

Chorus:
Visions I can’t shake
Chase me down and steal my sleep
Lessons I learned late
Lie like empty bottles next to me

Inst

I can see his grey reflection
Twisting in the waves of green and blue
Quietly describing the places that he knew
His memories hung like spirits in the room

Cut and cracked and broken
The words I might have spoken came to me
Much to late
And they tasted like cheap liquor
And they only made me sicker but I was just
To stubborn to spit them out

CHORUS
