01 Crawling through the Dirt

I was driving to the coast, heading down out of the hills.
In my rear view mirror was a sight for which to kill.
There was sunshine on the mountain at the opening of the day,
While ahead all I could see was hints of black and shades of grey.

I couldn’t get much further down from the heights where I had been.
Free falling to the ground - with nothing in between.
I’d been up on the summit - just the week before
Now I was crawling through the dirt
in search of something to live for.

I’ve heard the deepest point on earth’s the shore of the Dead Sea,
But after what I’ve been through, I beg to disagree.
There’s a hole inside my heart that plummets to the planet’s core,
Down to depths I’d never ever advise you to explore.

CHORUS

It’s amazing how a single day can turn your whole world around;
You're cruising through the stratosphere
then plunging to the ground.
You made the wrong decision - you let your temper fly,
Now all you had to live for has crumpled up and died.

CHORUS
