The Distance From The Bottom Lyrics - The Black Maria

What's the distance from the bottom? 

When you have nothing to lose 

Do you see the world move forward? 

As you break into pieces 

Remember how you used to walk proud 

How you'd soar above the crowd? 

What's the distance from the bottom? 

When you wear the failure like scars 

And your dreams landed way off mark 

And you know you want to make things right 

For the first time in your life 

And your trophies from when you were young 

Are just symbols of where you went wrong 

Well, you know how it goes 

What's the distance from the bottom? 

What has happened to you? 

Do you stay awake at night and wonder 

Why you're falling to pieces? 

Do you feel the stinging in your gut? 

Does it hurt you to think about 

What's the distance from the bottom? 

When you wear the failure like scars 

And your dreams landed way off mark 

And you know you want to make things right 

For the first time in your life 

And your trophies from when you were young 

Are just symbols of where you went wrong 

Well, you know how it goes 

And it seems like a mystery now 

How you could fall so far down 

Well, you know how it goes 

When you can't change the world 

You can't change the world 

When you can't change the world 

You can't change the world 

When you wear failure like scars 

And your dreams landed way off mark 

And you know you want to make things right 

For the first time in your life 

And your trophies from when you were young 

Are just symbols of where you went wrong 

Well, you know how it goes 

When you can't change the world 

You can't change the world 

When you can't change the world
