Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom
Lyrics:
Verse 1
"I waited for this chance my whole damn life
The stage was set, I was ready to arrive
Could feel the thrill as the moment drew near
One small distraction, it all disappeared
Got there too late, watched the door close tight
And that dream slipped away, lost in the night..."
Build-up
"...I've hit rock bottom"
Chorus
"In the depths, I’ll find my fire
Climb up higher, not sinking in mire
No chains can hold me, I won’t drown
Rock bottom’s just where I turn around"
Verse 2
"Behind the wheel, just a regular night
Thoughts wandering, not a worry in sight
Glanced down for a second, just one small slip
Didn’t see the turn, lost my grip
Tires screeched, metal against stone
In one breath, my whole world was thrown..."
Build-up
"...I've hit rock bottom"
Chorus
"In the depths, I’ll find my fire
Climb up higher, not sinking in mire
No chains can hold me, I won’t drown
Rock bottom’s just where I turn around"
Verse 3
"Clocked in like any other day
Did my best, tried to earn my pay
Worked my hands raw, gave it my all
Didn’t see the axe about to fall
Boss called me in, said 'Your time is done'
And just like that, my whole life came undone..."
Build-up
"...I've hit rock bottom"
Chorus
"In the depths, I’ll find my fire
Climb up higher, not sinking in mire
No chains can hold me, I won’t drown
Rock bottom’s just where I turn around"
Verse 4
"Mail came in, a bill way too high
Looked at the numbers, let out a sigh
Tried to stretch every dollar, made it last
But rent was due, the deadline passed
Landlord knocked, said 'Pack up and go'
Left me on the street, with nowhere to call home..."
Build-up
"...I've hit rock bottom"
Chorus
"In the depths, I’ll find my fire
Climb up higher, not sinking in mire
No chains can hold me, I won’t drown
Rock bottom’s just where I turn around"
Verse 5
"She stood by my side through thick and thin
Tried to hold on, but she saw me spin
Watched my life fall like a house of cards
Said she couldn’t take seeing me scarred
Packed her bags, said 'This is the end'
Left me broken, with no way to mend..."
Build-up
"...I've hit rock bottom"
Chorus
"In the depths, I’ll find my fire
Climb up higher, not sinking in mire
No chains can hold me, I won’t drown
Rock bottom’s just where I turn around"
Outro
"...I've hit rock bottom..."
"...I've hit rock bottom..."
"...I've hit rock bottom..."
