The Bottom Songtext
von Parabelle

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
