(Verse)
I don't remember a smile
No kind words were spoke
Just an ashtray full of sin
Shattered glass from a bottle broke
(Verse)
Too young to know this pain
But there's nowhere to hide
I probably could've run
But I stood by my momma's side
(Pre-Chorus)
When he put the bottle down
There was silence in the air
You could see his eyes turn black
He drank the devil's blood I swear
This prison was our home
There were no angels to be found
And I would pray to God
For him to put the bottle down
(Verse)
When you're young you don't know heck
But it don't take long to learn
He was supposed to keep us safe
We got tortured in return
(Verse)
And I still wear these scars
And time can't heal
And your apology
It won't change the way I feel
(Pre-Chorus)
When he put the bottle down
There was silence in the air
You could see his eyes turn black
He drank the devil's blood I swear
And this prison was our home
There were no angels to be found
And I would pray to God
For him to put the bottle down
(Verse)
The whiskey finally took his life
Stole his kids and his wife
He crossed over in his sleep
And there was no one there to weep
(Verse)
I had to put a bottle down
Convince myself to say goodbye
‘In loving memory you'll be missed'
I curse this stone caught with a lie
(Chorus 2)
And his prison's now your home
Fallen angels all around
At least I don't have to pray
For him to put the bottle down
