A Small Victory - Otis lyrics

This broken bottle is empty and my throat is all but torn apart from choking on my own teeth and i won't sleep tonight at all you sense the silence ending but you would rather roam the dark search for idle hands but my dear, that only starts a fever all i wanted was to let you know, that only starts a fever. you're feeling down because i let you go this ghost won't haunt me anymore from now on and i just can't let go of this bottle, it keeps me hanging on by every sip you've gone and fed me tonight this broken bottle is empty and my hands are all but torn apart from choking on these splinters as i continue to write out verses about the things you do that seem to get us nowhere and the things you say in the waking of a crumbling day like when you tell me you don't miss me there's nothing in me but a bottle of whiskey and it's keeping my tounge wet too it's either one or the two i've got my keys in my pocket and a list of what i left you and it's keeping my mind lit too what better way to erase you? [2x] you're not suffering anymore so move on this ghost won't haunt me anymore from now on and i just can't let go of this bottle, it keeps me hanging on by every sip you've gone and fed me tonight
