Bottled Lyrics by Alja

C.H.I.E.F.

2017

[Hook]
Something has taken over me
I can't escape out of this empty place...x2

[Verse 1]
Looking back I realize now that I was lost
Tried to draw the line but I would always go and cross
Sit in solitude and drink myself til I exhaust
Slowly drowning in the bottle, on the verge of falling off
Everybody said they saw a sudden change in me
A druggie and a drunk is what they started naming me
Used to always hold me down but now it's strange to see
All the ones who had my back, ain't the ones they claimed to be
Turned into a monster and I didn't have a care
If I tried to holler out for help, no one was there
Suffocating in my thoughts, I'm tryna get some air
But there ain't no running from the mind, it haunts me everywhere
Nobody could tell deep down that I was so depressed
Cause I kept it to myself, I always would surpress
I was overstressed, I felt like I had nothing left
Almost took away my life, that's when I had to address..

I was overstressed, I felt like I had nothing left
Almost took away my life, that's when I had to address

[Hook]
Something has taken over me
I can't escape out of this empty place...x2

[Verse 2]
I done been through so much shit that left me traumatized
So tired from it all, said that I just wanna die
Fell up off the tracks, man when I was on the rise
Had to get my shit together when I saw my Mama cry
Caught up in my ways and I couldn't make it out
Getting shitfaced, couldn't go a day without
Fell down to my knees and began to pray it out
That I'd make it through the shame, and the pain, and the drought
Had to get up out the T.R.A.P. I couldn't stay around
Everywhere I looked, only darkness would surround
Couldn't let my inner demons drag and pull me down
Started fighting back, burned all of the demons to the ground
Got back to the Bay and I began to get sober
Happy that my Mama and my Grandma got closure
If I didn't stray away the end was getting closer
Got an angel on my shoulder, now this battle is all over

If I didn't stray away the end was getting closer
Got an angel on my shoulder, now this battle is all over

[Hook]
Something has taken over me
I can't escape out of this empty place...x2
