"Broken Bottles and Empty Promises"
Music & Lyrics by: Mitch Cooper

[Verse 1]
He woke up with a headache, sun shining in his eyes
Another night of chaos, another night of lies
He's drowning in a sea of dread, can't seem to find his way
But he'll keep on drinking, trying to forget yesterday

[Chorus]
Broken bottles and empty promises
Living life in the fast lane, (can't resist)
Watching as his world, slowly fades to gray
He's lost in the haze, can't seem to find his way
(Broken Bottles)
(Empty Promises)

[Verse 2]
He used to be so carefree, used to laugh and play
But now he's just a ghost of who he just was yesterday
The party never stops, but the feeling never stays
He's chasing after shadows, trying to escape this maze

[Chorus]
Broken bottles and empty promises
Living life in the fast lane, (can't resist)
Watching as his world, slowly fades to gray
He's lost in the haze, can't seem to find his way
(Broken Bottles)
(Empty Promises)

[Bridge]
He's standing on the edge, staring into the void
A life full of excess, a life now destroyed
He needs to finally break free, He has to find the light
Before the darkness takes him, before he loses the fight

[Chorus]
Broken bottles and empty promises
Living life in the fast lane, (can't resist)
Watching as his world, slowly fades to gray
He's lost in the haze, can't seem to find his way
(Broken promises)
(Empty bottles)
