Up From the Bottom Lyrics
[Verse 1: Emily Armstrong]
Inside, it feels like I been barely breathin'
Feels like air is runnin' out
Inside, I'm stuck here starin' at a ceilin'
You put up to keep me down, down, down, down, down
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Wakin' up without a name
Open up my eyes, knowin' nothin' is the same
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
You keep me waitin' down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escapin', but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Each time I hold my fist inside my pocket
Hold my breath until I'm blue
Feels like a knife pushed deep inside a socket
Bristlin', listenin' to you, you, you, you, you
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Wakin' up without a name
Open up my eyes, knowin' nothing's gonna change
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
You keep me waitin' down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escapin', but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Everybody out, that devil is coming
Poison on his lips, and his words mean nothin'
Cold like a mountaintop, father never loved him
Mama said he's bad enough times that it sunk in
Everybody out, that devil is comin'
Promise you the world, but he's always bluffin'
Before you even know it's a trap, you're stuck in
He's gone like a ghost, already off runnin'
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
You keep me waitin' down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
I try escapin', but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, gotta get out of here
Up from the bottom, gotta get out of here
