The Bottom

Rise

You sold them self-esteem

It starts to shape a level fantasy

I believe in it, just believe in me now

A tight but faulty grip

It holds you down till you get over it

And that's the last of the fight you're given

(Hush, hush, hush) They're gonna tell you how you're gonna live

(Hush, hush, hush) They're gonna tell you what you're gonna be

(Hush, hush, hush) They're gonna tell you what you're gonna do now

Tell you what you're gonna do now

And if you don't stand you will fall

They'll rest at the top

And watch us fight for the bottom

And if we don't escape

You're not my enemy

We'll start this war from the bottom

I know your holy path

This is where you suffer most

But I'm still strongest when you're on my arm

And this life stares you down till you blink twice

And I won't leave until you start to realize

You're praised for effort with bruised intent

You listen better when you're broken and bent

And if you don't stand you will fall

They'll rest at the top

And watch us fight for the bottom

And if we don't escape

You're not my enemy

We'll start this war from the bottom

I can't see an end for this

That doesn't include your descent

Your plan, their faith are left inverse

What you call triumph I still call a curse

Who becomes whose enemy

Who becomes whose saving grace

Rise up!

Rise up!

And if you don't stand you will fall

They'll rest at the top

And watch us fight for the bottom

And if we don't escape

You're not my enemy

And I've seen enough to make a lifetime

I've seen enough to make a lifetime

I've seen enough to make a lifetime

I'm still myself inside

And if we don't escape

You're not my enemy

We'll start this war from the bottom
