about

It starts with drinking and it ends with me. I wrote this song before I got sober, when I started to realize I had a huge problem with alcohol. It is a play on words for "addiction". It's the embodiment of my life when I allow addiction and my emotions to rule me. It was originally released on my second album, "I'm The Asshole". I am proud of this version and grateful for my friends, Butterfly and Mark, who I feel captured the emotion and made this track feel complete. This version is in Mono, which was created specifically for a small run of 15 vinyl sets created for my friends who have been asking me to do a vinyl release for some time now.

lyrics

Booze bottle glow
It fucks me up
An endless sea
The death of me

Once sullen girl
Who wants the world
But it's too small
Take all these things

But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
It's in my head

Just walk with me
But don't dig too deep
I get too rough
Just let it flow

I touch your face
But it's all the same
My shattered soul
So out of place

But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
It's in my head

Booze bottle glow
Leave me alone
You drain me dry
So I light a smoke

My life is fine
Without you here
Just I alone
Just I alone

But it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No it's not real
Because it's all in my head
I'm sayin' it's not real
Because it's all in my head
No, it's not real
It's in my head

Skulls & Butterflies

It is the breaking of my heart and the triumphs you obtain when you smash through walls. Life is pain, it's suffering, but it's also beautiful because of it. Lyrics just as raw and honest as I am, maybe even more so. An intense, emotional ride. My heart on my sleeve, the baring of my soul. ... more
