Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a reason, I felt it in my bones

I lost my grip and the darkness took a hold of me

Can't breathe

I think I'm suffocating

I had the best of intentions till the fall

A downward spiral as far as I could go, so deep

Down so deep

[PreChorus]

Buried underneath the stone

A name without meaning

A life with no feeling

Left to die alone

Well, the body's still breathing

A soul that was bleeding

[Chorus]

I was dead and gone

Lost and forgotten

Living like a ghost

With no hope of crossing over

I was down in a hole

Till I clawed my way back from the bottom

[Verse 2]

I had a purpose, I let it go to hell

I use up every excuse to sabotage myself

I blame no one else

[PreChorus]

And all the lies that I've been told

A kiss and a promise

This beautiful garden

Turned to catacombs

Well, the body's still breathing

My heart is still beating, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I was dead and gone

Lost and forgotten

Living like a ghost

With no hope of crossing over

I was down in a hole

Till I clawed my way back from the bottom

[PostChorus]

Back from the bottom

Oh

[Chorus]

I was dead and gone

Lost and forgotten

Living like a ghost

With no hope of crossing over

I was down in a hole

Till I clawed my way back from the bottom

Ooh, oh

I was down in a hole

Till I clawed my way back from the bottom

[Outro]

Ooh, back from the bottom

Back from the bottom
