Below Rock Bottom

[Verse]
Below rock bottom dirt in my teeth
Scraping at shadows no light underneath
Every breath feels stolen like a thief in the night
No end in sight no end in sight
[Prechorus]
But the clock keeps ticking it don’t care
Spinning wheels grinding air
[Chorus]
The only way is up the only way is up
When you’re buried in the dust when you’ve had enough
The only way is up the only way is up
When the bottom’s your home you’re tougher than stone
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen mirrors crack from my stare
Empty eyes that don’t even care
Wrestled demons for scraps they wouldn’t give
But I’m still here yeah I still live
[Prechorus]
The ground can’t hold me can’t keep me still
Every heartbeat fights every heartbeat will
[Chorus]
The only way is up the only way is up
When you’re crawling through the mud with a half-empty cup
The only way is up the only way is up
When the fire’s burned out you light it yourself

dramatic, rock, enthusiastic, with driving electric guitars and pounding drums building to an anthemic crescendo, gritty
