Broken Bottles Lyrics

Broken bottles under the sink
I'm kissing babies with wedding rings
Elaboration makes me think
Of broken bottles under the sink

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

Broken bottles under the skin
The irritation pushes the pin
I can't afford to keep it thin
Broken bottles under the skin

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

All broken bottles behind the scene
I filling your head with kerosene
Intoxicated on self esteem
All broken bottles behind the scenes

And now we're breathing in a policy
Keep getting bludgeoned by the policy
Our poor little broken policy
Now why hell is this all happening?

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

Can we hold on to me
'Cause everything is sinking in denial
While my teeth keep on chattering
How can you leave
When the blood's up to my knees
And the doors are cemented
It's never ending

I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it
I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it
I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it

Kissing Families

Broken bottles under the sink
I'm kissing babies with wedding rings
Elaboration makes me think
Of broken bottles under the sink

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

Broken bottles under the skin
The irritation pushes the pin
I can't afford to keep it thin
Broken bottles under the skin

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

All broken bottles behind the scene
I filling your head with kerosene
Intoxicated on self esteem
All broken bottles behind the scenes

And now we're breathing in a policy
Keep getting bludgeoned by the policy
Our poor little broken policy
Now why hell is this all happening?

Dear god, can I cut in line?
Dear god, am I wasting my time?

Can we hold on to me
'Cause everything is sinking in denial 
While my teeth keep on chattering
How can you leave
When the blood's up to my knees
And the doors are cemented
It's never ending

I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it
I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it
I don't want to relive this
I don't want to relive it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I feel like this song is about a abusive relationship and wondering how did he get in this mess and the fact that he is living in horrible conditions due to his love
