Lyrics
I've hit rock bottom
Verse 1
Blood on my hands dust on my boots
Drawn back to the country drawn back to my roots
One look in a mirror I see a ghost of a man
Walking the same route with the same plan
I know the sound of dirt caving in
There has to be more to find than where I've been
(Chorus)
'Cause I've hit rock bottom way too many times
Felt the walls closing in on this life of mine
Yeah, I know the dark, and I know the dread
Of sleeping with the demons underneath my bed
I've worn out the floorboards, I've run out of lies
Yeah, I've hit rock bottom way too many times.
Verse 2
They say time heals but left with the scars
When you put your faith in a falling star
Been heartbroken by the ones that I loved
Reached out for mercy from the clouds up above
Just a knife in the back from a friendly face
Leaving me alone in this empty space
How many times can you drown in the shallow end?
How many times can you trust and break again?
I'm sick of the recovery, I'm sick of the fall
I'm just staring at the cracks in this basement wall
Way too many times...
Yeah, I know the sound of the dirt.
I know the weight of the hurt.
Another shovel in the ground.
Another time I'm going down.
...Just down.
