Codeine and Wine

about

It’s about the emptiness you feel when you're addicted, but also about mental illness’, You end up feeling like an empty shell but your mind tells you that the solution is to take more drugs. In this case, codeine and wine. I think it’s the reality for many people and that they can recognize themselves in the lyrics.

lyrics

The empty hole is lyin
Just beneath the skin
No matter how you're trying
You never get to win
The emptiness it follows
Wherever you go
Your body feels like hollow
And your soul is set to go

Codeine and wine, can you stop the pain
Can you make the sun shine,
Can you stop the rain
Fill my heart with laughter
Where the darkness lay
Take away my troubles
And make them stay away

The cold and chilly wind it blows
Rustling through the trees
Reflections in the windows
And empty faces on the streets
You're bound to walk this life alone
WIth pain in your bones
The angel's whisper, please come home
You don't have to be alone

Codeine and wine, can you stop the pain
Can you make the sun shine,
Can you stop the rain
Fill my heart with laughter
Where the darkness lay
Take away my troubles
And make them stay away
