"THE BOTTOM" lyrics

"THE BOTTOM"

I had a reason, I felt it in my bones
I lost my grip and the darkness took a hold of me
Can't breathe
(I think I'm suffocating)
I had the best of intentions 'til the fall
A downward spiral as far as I could go, so deep
Down so deep

Buried underneath the stone
A name without meaning
A life with no feeling
Left to die alone
With a body still breathing
A soul that was bleeding

I was dead and gone
Lost and forgotten
Living like a ghost
With no hope of crossing over
I was down in a hole
'Til I climbed my way back from the bottom

I had a purpose, I let it go to hell
I used up every excuse to sabotage myself
I blame no one else

And all the lies that I've been told
A kiss and a promise
This beautiful garden
Turned into catacombs
With a body still breathing
My heart is still beating, yeah, yeah

I was dead and gone
Lost and forgotten
Living like a ghost
With no hope of crossing over
I was down in a hole
'Til I climbed my way back from the bottom

Back from the bottom
Oh

I was dead and gone
Lost and forgotten
Living like a ghost
With no hope of crossing over
I was down in a hole
'Til I climbed my way back from the bottom
Ooh, oh
I was down in a hole
'Til I climbed my way back from the bottom

Ooh, back from the bottom
Back from the bottom
