Bottom

written by Maynard James Keenan, Adam Jones, Danny Carrey, Paul d'Amour, & Henry Rollins

My compassion is broken now,
My will is eroded now,
My desire broken now,
And it makes me feel ugly.

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

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

I'm on my knees and burning,
My piss and moans are fuel,
That set my head on fire,
I'm dead inside.

Shit adds up,
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. I can sink no further, but 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 treshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you. There is no other choice. I'm shameless now! I'm nameless now! I'm nothing now! I'm no one now! But my Soul must be Iron, cause my fear is naked! I'm naked and fearless! And my fear is naked!

I'm dead inside,
Dead inside,
Dead inside,
Dead inside.

Nameless now!
Shameless now!
Nothing now!
No one now!

You've seen me naked now!
Fearless now!
Naked now!
Fearless now!

It leaves me dead inside,
Dead inside,
Dead inside,
Dead inside!

Hatred keeps me alive,
Lonliness keeps me alive,
Weakness keeps me alive,
Guilt keeps me alive at the bottom.
