Marcus Gray - Bonaqua Blues Lyrics

[Intro]
Empty bottles on the window sill
Like memories that never fill
Another Christmas, another pill
To numb what's real

[Verse 1]
Bonaqua label's peeling off, just like my smile
Family dinners feel like miles and miles
They pass the gravy, pass me by
Surface-level love, I know it's all a lie
Aunt's fake laugh echoes through the room
While I'm fading like December's afternoon
Clear plastic, transparent pain
They see right through me, I remain the same

[Chorus]
Used up, tossed out, like Bonaqua blues
Half-empty promises that I can't refuse
They drink me dry, then throw away the truth
Another holiday alone in my room
Another holiday alone in my room

[Verse 2]
Mom's taking pictures but I'm out of frame
Dad's telling stories, can't remember my name
I'm just a vessel they fill with shame
Empty inside like this bottle game
Sitting quiet at the table's end
Watching happiness that they pretend
Like water through my fingers, family slips away
Christmas lights blur, nothing's gonna stay

[Chorus]
Used up, tossed out, like Bonaqua blues
Half-empty promises that I can't refuse
They drink me dry, then throw away the truth
Another holiday alone in my room
Another holiday alone in my room

[Outro]
Just another bottle in the recycling bin
Just another Christmas where I don't fit in
Just like water, clear and forgotten
Till next December comes around again
