lyrics

When you hit rock bottom
And you can’t find a friend
Cause everything you’ve done
Left you standing with no one
Then you’ll know
Yeah you’ll know
You hit rock bottom
I thought that i was someone
Believed what they had said
I thought that i was good
But i misunderstood
But now i know
Yes i know
I hit rock bottom
I bit the hand that fed me
And i let the family down
I was full of envy
Let it get the best of me
But now i know
Yes i know
I hit rock bottom
Gambling is a sickness
That’s buried in my brain
When i start to lose
I double up and hit the booze
Then i know
Yes i know
I hit rock bottom
I had a little money
And i thought i needed more
I thought i could parlay
Triple up and save the day
But now i know
Yeah i know
I hit rock bottom
There is a deep depression
And it’s coming with the snow
It’ll settle in your bones
And make you feel so all alone
It’ll let you know
It’ll make you know
You hit rock bottom
So when you hit rock bottom
And you can’t find a friend
Cause everything you’ve done
Left you standing with no one
Then you’ll know
You’ll truly know
You hit rock bottom

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
