I'm not sure why but the mention of scars in the the previous song reminded me strongly of this song. The Suicide Machines were an anarchic Punk band which verged on Communism in their song writing. Its strange that with all the anti-capitalist stuff they usually sang they could have something like this as well... Bottomed Out by The Suicide Machines
"How we love, we love to hurt ourselves.
How we live, we live to hurt each other.
And how it feels when it's you who hates yourself.
It's hard to care when it seems no one else does.
And I know how it feels when all the pressure is too real,
With all these bad thoughts in my head,
I try, but I can't quite get rid of them.
I've hit the bottom,
I'm at the bottom again.
Can someone lend a helping hand?
I've hit the bottom,
I'm at the bottom again.
They're just scars, and everyone has got them, yeah
just scars, we all try to hide them so that no one else can see.
Your scars are beautiful to me.
I know that love can break your back,
Especially when your soul is black.
Just know that you destroy me,
I wonder are you finally free?
Dirty dishes in the sink,
He sang, he sang while his world, it sank.
He's at the bottom,
He's hit the bottom again.
There was no one there to lend a hand.
He's at the bottom,
He's hit the bottom again,
At depression's bitter end.
It's been a long hard day,
You free me from my pain,
But I hold onto hope
It's all I've ever known,
You free me from my pain.
Free me."
Well the more I listen to it/read it through the more I like it. "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." - Sir Winston Churchill |
