Bottled - Intellectual

[Hook]

Something has taken over me

I can't escape out of this empty place...x2

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

Something has taken over me

I can't escape out of this empty place...x2

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

Something has taken over me

I can't escape out of this empty place...x2
