This Brown Bottle and Me

Will the gorilla's picture bring more thoughts to life
I look at it and start thinking about worry and strife
How life can be so tricky with detours placed in the way
And how barley corn has a major role in this game we play

The feelings and thoughts start out as fun and silly games
About half way in, the buzz turns to anger and raging flames
A simple word spoken finds it's way to your drunken ears
Before it is said and done someone is shedding sad tears

Man's passionate affair with this foul tasting magical mead
Has spanned generations spreading a false desire and need
Made it legal as it is a man made poisonous drinking brew
Stirring up a mix of emotions that become harmful for you

No ice in my glass, I'm feeling buzzed and living the blues
Sitting all alone in this room with nothing more to lose
I have no light to fire up this cigarette I hold in my hand
I'm at my wits end, I no longer hold the desire to win

A long road we have travelled this brown bottle and me
It held fascinations that were cloudy but still able to see
My anger multiplied in the darkness of bar room lights
I became a monster when drinking the barley and rye

What does it all boil down to when at the nights end
I hang my head in shame knowing I have no friends
Except this brown bottle that I pay to stick around
Knowing full well that sooner or later it will bring me down
