lyrics

falling fast, sinking lower than i have.
the bottom comes up quick.
lying still, through my teeth and to myself.
can they make the charges stick?

narrow lines, getting longer every time,
the excuses never end.
the cash is king, the end result means everything,
i let it go straight to my head.

rock bottom feels like a dream,
and you can't get up.
we reach towards the light, there's clarity some nights,
but most of the time we're just spinning,
yeah most of the time i'm just spinning.

waking up in a paramedic truck,
i thought it was still a dream.
most nights i wish they'd have just let me die,
'cause the fallout's worse than it ever seemed.

rock bottom feels like a dream,
and you can't get up.
we reach towards the sky, i'm usually losing the fight,
but most of the time we're just spinning,
yeah most of the time i'm just spinning.

most of the time.

nothing means much to me now,
i keep having this dream about punching out.
when you think that no one understands,
it gets so damn hard to keep giving a damn.

rock bottom feels like a dream.
