Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom
I know it lies there under me.
I can feel its pull on my heels.
Rock bottom baby.
Right on below me.
Tugging at me everyday.
One slip, just one slip.
And there I go down.
All the way babe.
Down to rock bottom.

I hang onto the rope.
Hoping to climb out.
Out of the misery of my life.
Climb into the sun.
Climb to the warmth.
Never wanting to let go.
Hanging onto a hope.
Even a distant hope.
Clinging to it.
It is all I have babe.
Hope and you keep me hanging on.

Rock friggin bottom waits though.
Pulling me downward in an unforgiving World.
Cruel and cold it can be.
Ready to kick you to the curb.
Ready to let you fall to the pit.
Rock bottom is calling on me.
Waiting for another victim.
This victim is me.
Rock friggin bottom.

I am holding tight.
Putting up a fight.
I ain’t going to hit rock bottom.
Clinging to hope.
Clinging to light.
Never gonna give in.
Rock bottom keeps calling.
End of the rope is burning.
Right through my hands.

Rock bottom it is a calling.
Calling for me too.
Reaching for me now.
Reach for me always.
Rock friggin bottom.

At the bottom and looking up.
Hope fading with every moment babe.
I won’t give up till you give up on me.
So don’t turn away babe.
If you do then I will fall.
Right down to rock frigging bottom.
