lirik lagu maeve noiré - bottle caps
there’s a rattle in the kitchen drawer
i know that sound, i’ve heard it before
the fizz, the snap, the hiss, the grin—
that’s when the real bad starts to begin
he calls it juice, he calls it fun
he calls it “just one, then i’m done.”
but he drinks until he can’t stand straight
and slams the door when he’s home too late
he smells like fruit and fire and lies
his eyes go dark, then twice their sizе
i hold my breath and count to ten
but i lose count—hе yells again
bottle caps, bottle caps, all over the floor
each one’s a monster behind the door
he pops the top and disappears—
what’s left behind is what i fear
bottle caps, bottle caps, sweet on the tongue
but he gets louder with every one
they roll around like tiny sins—
he’s not my daddy when they win
he laughs too hard, he cries too loud
he talks to ghosts and makes me proud—
to hide. to run. to turn to stone
to pray real quiet when we’re alone
sometimes he hugs me, then lets go
and throws the tv through the snow
says, “don’t look at me like your mom,”
but i don’t know what i did wrong
he stumbles down and i go numb
he says it’s not the drink—it’s them
i step on caps and they cut my feet
i guess that’s what he means by sweet
bottle caps, bottle caps, rattling loud
i hear them coming and i’m not proud
he opens one like opening war—
and i just slide beneath the floor
bottle caps, bottle caps, cherry and pain
he drinks the joy, then screams my name
they said it’s fun, they said it’s cool—
but no one said it breaks the rules
he tells me i’m his little star
but stars don’t live where bruises are
he says he loves me, then he falls—
and i don’t feel much love at all
bottle caps, bottle caps, candy lies
lined up neat like alibis
he pops the top and slips away
and i grow older every day
bottle caps, bottle caps, bitter and blue
they taste like him, they taste like truth
i used to beg him, “please just stop…”
now i just sweep them up
he says he’ll quit, he says he might—
but every cap’s another night
i hate the ones that fizz and pop…
i wish the bottle came with a lock
