(Lyrics):Up From The Bottom - Linkin Park
[Verse 1: Emily Armstrong]
Inside it feels like I've been barely breathin'
Feels like air is runnin' out
Inside I'm stuck here starin' at a ceilin' (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, knowing nothin' is the same (Same)
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there's nowhere to go
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong]
Each time I hold my fist inside my pocket
Hold my breath until I'm blue (Oh)
Feels like a knife pushed deep inside a socket (Socket)
Bristlin', listenin' to you, you, you, you, you
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Wakin' up without a name
Opening my eyes knowing nothing's gonna change (Change)
Circlin' around a drain
As I realize that there's no one else to blame
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from
the bottom I try escaping, 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 nothing
Cold like a mountaintop, father never loved him
Mama said he's bad enough times that it sunk in
Everybody out, that devil is coming
Promise you the world, but he's always bluffing
Before you even know, it's a trap you're stuck in
He's gone like a ghost, already off running
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong]
You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Starin' up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, 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
