Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle

A friend once told me
there is no such thing as a happy ending
trying to convince him otherwise, I realised
he was right 

Without a fight, I started to give in
there is no use to try and win this battle
happiness is not real
it is just a message in a bottle

A face facade
20mg per day 
that is all I can say
to stop me
from drowning in this pain 

What is there more to say
as these words come alive
my heart is breaking 
all that I am doing to survive
is faking 

Surviving, but not living 
Smiling, but not laughing 
Walking, but getting nowhere 

Is there a use? 
An end? A purpose? 
Or is it just a message in a bottle? 
Lets make it 40mg a day 
7 pills down the rabbit hole
Add one at night

See there are you smiling again
But are you really happy? 
They say it’s the wolf you feed
They throw you a bone
A glimmer of hope 
Fuck the wolves
They eat you alive

With no life left in me
How am I to thrive
Up and down
Left and right 
Tired of this drive

As the chemicals go wild 
I tell myself tomorrow is another day
You’ve got this
You can do it
This too, shall pass
How is that
For a message in a bottle? 

Pills, quotes, chemicals, jokes
They all come together 
A cocktail, as temporary as a mist
The truth will shine through
You think it positive
Think again

I give so much of myself
But it’s never enough 
Pain turns to anger
As I fight these words 
Shout them out loud
Going under 
Killing me from inside

Want to so say it again?
Summarise life 101? 
So yeah, there is no such thing as a happy ending
No happy ever after
Those are only fairy tales
Those are all lies 
They are just a message in a bottle

Good luck convincing yourself otherwise.
