The Bottom Again (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Sheet of white cotton

Stuck like glue to my frame

Cold floor is too far today

My joints ache under the light

Outside the world is rushing along

Moving past my heavy chest

I cannot move

I cannot win

Chorus

System of sorrow

Calling me back to the bottom

System of sorrow

Dragging my name through the mire

I love I love I love

Saying I love it just to feel it

I love I love I love

Drowning inside this system of sorrow again

Verse 2

Staring at the ceiling cracks

Trace them with my empty eyes

Weight of the air is pressing down

Suffocating any small spark

Telling myself I should just get up

Failure is the only sound

I stay here

I stay still

Chorus

System of sorrow

Calling me back to the bottom

System of sorrow

Dragging my name through the mire

I love I love I love

Saying I love it just to feel it

I love I love I love

Drowning inside this system of sorrow again

Bridge

They want me out there

They want me bright

The pressure is building

Breaking my brittle bones

Crushing the hope

Hard to breathe

Chorus

System of sorrow

Calling me back to the bottom

System of sorrow

Dragging my name through the mire

I love I love I love

Saying I love it just to feel it

I love I love I love

Drowning inside this system of sorrow again

Outro

I love I love

Just for today

Drowning again

My system of sorrow

Verse 3

Doorbell rings like a siren

Every chime is a physical blow

Tucked under the woolly clouds

Avoiding the shadows on the wall

Calendar pages falling like snow

Covering my hands in white

I try to lift a single finger

But it falls back to the mattress

Chorus

System of sorrow

Calling me back to the bottom

System of sorrow

Dragging my name through the mire

I love I love I love

Saying I love it just to feel it

I love I love I love

Drowning inside this system of sorrow again

Breakdown

L-L-Love

S-S-Sorrow

Stuck in the sheets

System failing

Processing nothing

Empty heart

Error 404

(Stay in)

(Don't go out)

Verse 4

Phone is glowing on the wood

Messages pile up like stones

Voices asking where I've been

Asking if I'm coming back soon

Pressure building in my lungs

How do I explain the weight

Of a ghost sitting on my chest

Whispering my name through the night

Post-Chorus

I-I-I-I love

L-L-L-Love it here

Sorrow is my friend now

Stay inside the cycle

Chorus

System of sorrow

Calling me back to the bottom

System of sorrow

Dragging my name through the mire

I love I love I love

Saying I love it just to feel it

I love I love I love

Drowning inside this system of sorrow again

Outro

I love I love I love I love

System system of sorrow again

Laid here until the morning fades

I love I love I love I love

(Sorrow again)

(Sorrow again)

Disconnected

L-L-Love

Love

Sorrow

Final system failure

Gone
