Up From The Bottom
Lyrics:
[English]
[Music]
...
[Applause]
...
[Music]
...
[Music]
...
inside it feels like I'm barely
...
breathing feels like air is running out
...
in side a stu here staring at a
...
ceiling you put up to keep me down down
...
down down waking up without a name
...
opening my eyes knowing nothing is the
...
same circling around a drain as I
...
realize that there's no one else to
...
blame you keep me waiting down here so
...
far below staring up from the bottom up
...
from the bottom I'll try
...
escaping but this nowhere to go staring
...
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 night push deep inside a
...
socket bristling listening to you yeah
...
yeah yeah waking up with a name opening
...
my eyes knowing nothing's going to
...
change circling around a drain as I
...
realize that there's no one else to play
...
you keep me waiting down here so far
...
below staring up from the bottom up from
...
the bottom I'll try
...
escaping but there's nowhere to go Star
...
It Up From The Bottom oh from the bot
...
[Music]
...
everybody out that devil is coming
...
poison on his lips and his words mean
...
nothing cold like a mountain top father
...
never loved him Mama said he's bad
...
enough times that it's sunking 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 staring up from the bottom up from
...
the bottom I try
...
escaping but there's nowhere to go
...
staring up from the bottom got to get
...
out of here up from the botom got to get
...
out of here
