lyrics

I’ve been dead inside for most of my life
I get stuck in the bottom of the bucket
My eyes get wide and I take a look inside
Bad luck hits, I’m stuck in the bucket

I push all night just to try and tip it right
I lose my breath and I fall to my knees
I can see that sky and the clouds pass on by
And I wonder what’s becoming of me
Yeah, I wonder what’s becoming of me

If there’s a God above won’t you rain me down some love
Cause I’m bottom of the barrel
I been stuck down here for a week and a year
And I’m losing my mettle
If you fill me up I will raise my cup
I’ll float to the top and I’ll fly
But if your eyes are dry, well I ain’t that surprised
I’ll sit in the dark till I die

Now I’m an old, old man, I’ve got two broken hands
From punching the bottom of this bucket
Some day a flood’s going to come, it’s going to take everyone
And my loneliness won’t feel so bad

If there’s a God above won’t you rain me down some love
Cause I’m bottom of the barrel
I been stuck down here for a week and a year
And I’m losing my mettle
If you fill me up I will raise my cup
I’ll float to the top and I’ll fly
But if your eyes are dry, well I ain’t that surprised
I’ll sit in the dark till I die

I’m so filled with spite, I think I’m gonna survive
