Chorus:
Do you think you've hit bottom?
Do you think you've hit bottom?
Oh, no.
There's a bottom below.
There's a low below the low you know.
You can't imagine how far you can go down.
(Chorus)
Every once in a while you'll rise and glow,
But that's only so they can let you go down.
(Chorus)
You sit at a party and watch the fun,
It don't touch you none cause you're off and gone, down.
(Chorus)
There's the nightmare kind where you fall and fall,
And you wake to find you haven't been dreaming at all.
(Chorus)
There's a low below the low you know.
You can't imagine how far you can go down.
(Chorus)
