Bottom (Zack De La Rocha) Songtext
von Tool

Compassion is broken now
My will is eroded now
Desire is broken now
It makes me feel ugly

I′m on my knees and burning
My piss and moans are the fuel
That set my head on fire
So smell my soul is burning

I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy
And I have swallowed the poison you feed me
But I survive on the poison you feed me, and it leaves me
Guilt-fed
Hatred-fed
Weakness-fed
It makes me feel ugly

I′m on my knees and burnin'
My piss and moans are the fuel
That set my head on fire
Dead in-side


Shit adds up, shit adds up
Shit adds up at the bottom

If I let you, you would make me destroy myself
In order to survive you, I must first survive myself
And I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you
There's no choice but to confront you
To engage you, to erase you

I′ve gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain
I will use my mistakes against you
There′s no other choice

Shameless now
Nameless now
Nothing now
No one now

And my soul must be iron
'Cause my fear is naked
I′m naked and fearless
And my fear is naked


Dead inside, dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
Nameless now, shameless now
Nothing now, no one now

Shit adds up, shit adds up
Shit adds up, as you see me
Naked now, fearless now
Naked now, fearless now

Shit adds, shit adds
Shit adds, shit adds up it leaves me
Dead inside, dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside

Hatred keeps me alive
Hungriness keeps me alive
Weakness keeps me alive
Guilt keeps me alive at the bottom
