about

I am tired of running in a circle of shame and self-destruction. I’ve had to do a lot of work and practice listening to my brain to break that cycle. Some folks may use a combination of drugs and alcohol, compulsive eating, fits of rage, really any maladaptive behavior that only serves to exacerbate a crisis. This song was a learning experience because I was able to detail my own emotional cues that can put me into the fuck-it zone where I start burning down my own life and then cry about it. When I feel like I’ve reached the end, I know a couple things that can make it worse and that’s the point I wanted to make in the chorus. My rock bottom has a trap door, I’ll Meet You There.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Me and all my stubborn friends

Are always squaring off with alcohol or heroin
There is glory in defeat, there's respect in the fight
Came to terms with the fact that I'm along for the ride
And if I'm not feeling every bump, then I'm not feeling alive
We’ll make a mountain out of nothing, yeah we’ll escalate
We eat the things we can't control so we’ve been puttin on weight
I feel the rattle of the cage when I go outside
I'll be the buddy that you need, but I ain't that strong
I can't hold my breath forever but I'll try real long
Never know what kind of carcass from the wreck is coming in with the tide

And when we both start falling down
I know the curtain is dropping, might as well take a bow
That list of shit that I don't wanna do
Turns into shovels and fuck-its, another cage to pursue

My rock bottom has a trap door
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
My rock bottom has a trap door
I'll meet you there

Try to get to bed early, I just lay there awake
Cuz tomorrow is a thing I hate
Fuck the vitamins and minerals cuz
That shit ain't sniffable but
We try to break from all the things that make us criminals
We face the battle with a deadly cheat
And suppression is the mvp
I just grit my fuckin' teeth try to push it beneath
Then I carry it around like a fuckin' disease
Cuddle up to narratives we heard about hope
Trying not to parrot what we learned about dope
We're racking time but we still can't define
If there really is a difference between "live" and "survive"
I'll be the buddy that you need, but I ain't that strong
I can't hold my breath forever but I'll try real long
Never know what kind of truth is gonna smuggle itself in with the lie

And when we both start falling down
I know the curtain is dropping, might as well take a bow
That list of shit that I don't wanna do
Turns into shovels and fuck-its, another cage to pursue

My rock bottom has a trap door
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
My rock bottom has a trap door
I'll meet you there

And when we both start falling down
I'll try my best to pull you out
