Lyrics[]
Inside it feels like I've been barely breathin'
Feels like air is runnin' out
Inside I'm stuck here starin' at a ceilin'
You put up to keep me down, down, down, down, down
Wakin' up without a name
Open up my eyes knowing nothin' is the same
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
Each time I hold my fist inside my pocket
Hold my breath until I'm blue
Feels like a knife pushed deep inside a socket
Bristlin', listenin' to you, you, you, you, you
Wakin' up without a name
Open up my eyes knowing nothing's gonna change
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
Everybody out, that devil is coming
Poison on his lips, and his words mean nothing
Cruel like a mountaintop, father never loved him
Mama said he's bad enough times that it sunk in
Everybody out, that devil is coming
Promise you the world, but he's always bluffing
Before you even know it's a trap you're stuck in
He's gone like a ghost, already off running
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, gotta get out of here
Up from the bottom, gotta get out of here
