Every Bitter Drop lyrics

Behind, beneath, below a certain

level of intoxication,

hidden like a joyful bundle,

prisoner of inebriation.

If you had the chance,

would you realize

that every bitter drop

is clouding up your eyes?

Yeah, it's clouding up your eyes.

The modicum of sympathy

and portrait from the empathetic,

more than just a head is aching,

now you are apologetic.

Wouldn't have the need to doubt you

if your trappings weren't synthetic.

And if you had the chance,

would you realize

that every bitter drop

is clouding up your eyes?

And if you stop to think,

would you be surprised

that it's clouding up your eyes

and it's raining from your skies?

You'll have to be the one

to let you know

what you already know.

You'll have to be the one

to let you know,

to let you know.

Don't pretend the scapegoat's heavy,

I see little stacked against you.

Don't invent another venom,

self-infliction will prevent you.

By the time you get this message,

some poor notion might expect you.

If you had the chance,

would you realize

that every bitter drop

is clouding up your eyes?

And if you stop to think,

would you be surprised

that every bitter drop

is clouding up your eyes

and it's raining from your skies?

It's clouding up your eyes

and it's draining your supplies.
