The Genie in the Bottle
She beckons out with a siren’s call
For all who are able to hear
The down and out, the lot souls
The ones who no longer care
She sings of escape, of peacefulness
Of the calming of your soul
She weaves a tale of acceptance
Deliverance from your deep, dark, hole
She promises to take away the pain
To make you forget for a while
She reaches out from amber glass
With fairytale endings and smiles
But as her vision fades away
The amber turns crystal clear
With each drink the songs quiets
Until finally, nothing is there
And as you stagger all alone
Across the room into your bed
The whirlpool spinning makes you realize
She was all in your head
With morning’s light, you slowly rise
Still alone, still lonely, still in pain
You see the empty bottle on the floor
Realize you have to do it all again
To bring her back, a wish you have
To be free of the pain, although
You know inside, its just life denied
The Genie in the Bottle
