Bottom - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Maynard James Keenan]

Compassion is broken now

My will is eroded now

Desire is broken now

It makes me feel ugly

[Chorus: Maynard James Keenan]

On my knees and burning

My piss and moans are fuelling

I set my head on fire

Smell my soul is burning

[Verse 2: Maynard James Keenan]

I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy

And I have swallowed the poison you feed me

But I survive on the poison you feed me, leaving me

Guilt-fed, hatred-fed, weakness-fed

It makes me feel ugly

[Chorus: Maynard James Keenan]

On my knees and burnin'

My piss and moans are fuelling

I set my head on fire

Dead inside

[Refrain: Maynard James Keenan]

Shit adds up, shit adds up, shit adds up

Shit adds up at the bottom

[Spoken interlude: Henry Rollins & Maynard]

If I let you, you would make me destroy myself

In order to survive you, I must first survive myself

And I can sink no further and I cannot forgive you

There's no choice but to confront you

To engage you

To erase you

I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain

I will use my mistakes against you

There's no other choice

Shameless now

Nameless now

Nothing now

No one now

But my soul must be iron

'Cause my fear is naked

I'm naked and fearless

And my fear is naked

[Outro]

Dead inside, dead inside

Nameless now, shameless now

Nothing now, no one now

Shit adds up, shit adds up

Shit adds up, shit adds, as you see me

Naked now, fearless now

Shit adds, shit adds

Shit adds, shit adds up, it leaves me

Dead inside, dead inside

[Outro]

Hatred keeps me alive

Ugliness keeps me alive

Weakness keeps me alive

Guilt keeps me alive at the bottom
