Bottoms Up Lyrics

I got skeletons in my closet more than just a few

My demons claw at the surface

Scratching hard, trying to break through

All my life I seen you, queued up, queued up

Offering respite, from everything that screwed up

Flowing free, throughout my family tree

Watered down all the roots, saturated every leaf

And from that comes the belief (comes the belief)

That my daily regimen of drink

Is a rite of passion from generations that's passed down onto me

Socially used to sip, that's how it started out

Then I slowly lost my grip, and the walls came tumbling down

The more and more I let the spirits pour

The more and more I hear the spirits roar

Head first as I dive in, trying to find myself an encore

Got the devil perched on my shoulder, yelling, turn it up

And who am I to deny, no turn downs, only turn ups

The outside world don't concern us, the outside world don't concern us (nah)

Family pleads fall on deaf ears, them shits there don't deter us

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up, bottoms up

Cause I can't block these demons out with a single cup, with a single cup

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up, bottoms up

I'm trying to drown this pain, plus I don't give a fuck

So pour it up, knock it back and pour another one, pour another one

Pour it up, knock it back and pour another one, pour another one

I done lost my balance, and my speech is slurred

Still I pour it up, knock it back and pour another one, pour another one

I'd like to purpose a toast

To the um drink god

You know uh, you know what

Fuck it, bottoms up

My wading pool soon became Olympic sized

Tried to master every stroke, still got caught up in the tide

Wifey surf trying to ride the wave,

Try her best to hide away the shame

Knowing that when the liquor rains, then I misbehave

The shit that made my gramps die in so much pain

I remember

Then my pops turned around and went and did the same

I remember

Thinking back and I ask myself, why should I be different

The excuse is there in my DNA, why should I be different

I was a drink champ before Nore

Even though I swore not to walk the path that was laid down here before me

Yeah, here I am

Lo and behold, the apple never falls far, I see

Light or dark, it doesn't matter to me

Throw away my life, it never mattered to me

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up

Cause I can't block these demons out with a single cup

Every day and every night, it's bottoms up

I'm trying to drown this pain, plus I don't give a fuck

So pour it up, knock it back and pour another one

Pour it up, knock it back and pour another one

I done lost my balance, and my speech is slurred

Still I pour it up, knock it back and pour another one

Sinking into this abyss

Drink so much tp numb the pain now my body gives

Withering in the face of this disease

It's presence kneeds

Got my soul in the darkness ensleeves in a permanent hold

I can't break loose
