Betrayed Lyrics
I've been waking up shaking, and the bottles are gone
What will I do with my day, and how will I get along
I need a replacement for the habit I have
I just need to get something, I can't live in the past
The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside
What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die
I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise
But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise
The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
Just take a drink and you will find yourself back where you started
Temptation is the hardest thing, just push it all away
Once you take the first step, there'll be no more turning back
Just take a look at how far you progressed to be sober
Lose faith in yourself, off the wagon you will fall
Staying clean and sober is the only way to go
What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside
What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die
I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise
But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise
The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
What will I do with my day, and how will I get along
I need a replacement for the habit I have
I just need to get something, I can't live in the past
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die
I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise
But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
Temptation is the hardest thing, just push it all away
Once you take the first step, there'll be no more turning back
Lose faith in yourself, off the wagon you will fall
Staying clean and sober is the only way to go
What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die
I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise
But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise
The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray

This track delves into the struggles of addiction and the internal battle many face. It depicts the daily challenges and consequences associated with substance abuse. Primarily though, the song uses alcohol to highlight how they're desperate to find something to stop the craving. A way to escape from the addiction and the need for something to fill the void left by the habit. The song goes on to warn us that what appears harmless on the surface can be rotten internally, representing the illusion of pleasure and escape offered by substance abuse. It leaves a warning to us that what seemed like good quick fun or an interesting experience you'd regret missing, is something that is bait that is used to draw you into a trap of addiction and self-destruction.
