Open Mic Week 40 - The Bottom (Original)

Morning Folks!

I wrote this song a few months ago. It is a reflection on a time in my life where there wasn't much sunshine. No rainbows. No unicorn farts.

Lyrics:
Spinning at the bottom, It's lonely as can be
I am just a phantom of who I used to be
Lonely nights and dimming lights, my thoughts don't comfort me
As I fade into the black I pray that I don't dream

When the sun comes up tomorrow I'll step into that light
If I drown while the rains come down I won't put up a fight
As I go deeper it gets hard to see
Till the sun comes up tomorrow the Bottom is where I'll be

I don't try to understand the reason for the pain
It's easier to go down deep, no need to explain
What's done is done, I'm having fun, can't you see my smile?
I don't know when I'm coming back, I think I'll stay awhile

Someday I may see clearly, someday I will die
Which happens first, It can't be worse, no reason for goodbye
I step into the shadows, that old, familiar sight
I take a breath and close my eyes, and fade into the night
