If you so happen to like this, please please give me a like.  

The only thing from the original recording is the vocal, me in 2002.  I've kept the original vocal because I like how I stylised it, though I'm not entirely sure what I was aiming for there, most likely trying to sound like someone - though I can't remember who! 

It's got the benefits of being a voice about 19/20 years younger than the present one!  I'm by no means fallen to pieces, but have a notably different voice at 42 to the one I had at 22! I did try to re record a little piece of the vocal, just a couple of words, won't say which bit, only because it was a lyric I didn't love, but that sadly made the voice difference over 20 years glaringly obvious, because of which I've left the vocal as it was. 

Lyrics

You always tell me that I'm looking fine
I know you know I've got things on my mind
I know I've been lost and, in the freeze,
Been beaten down, the bruises only I can see!

I feel the cold wind cut close to the bone
At times when I feel like I’m on my own
But no, I ‘m still me 
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

You exorcize the things that haunt my soul
Can leap through fire when I’m not alone
But no I'm not brave
My life's another slay
Inner punches by my fist alone
Struggles twine themselves around my throat
But no I'm still me
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Sometimes I feel like there’s just no way out
Feel like my body’s knocked into the ground
I know I seem to have lost all control
My frail image might have lost it’s soul

But I know, still, I won’t go! 

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

I’VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM 

Loaded up with pills and booze
Left arm full of new tattoos
I’ll try anything I can 
To change the way I feel
Another six pack on the table
Don’t know if I’m still able
Just to tell 
What is and is not real 

I’ve hit rock bottom
Not a dollar to my name
Lost all the money
Chasing fortune and fame
I’ve hit rock bottom
Can’t go on no more
I gotta pick up them pills
I got scattered all over the floor

I can barely breathe on my own
My whole world just up and gone
Trying by any means 
To get you outta my head 
Smith and Wesson on my nightstand 
I ain’t saying I had this planned 
Cause I don’t know 
If I want 
To wind up dead 

I’ve hit rock bottom
Not a dollar to my name
Lost all the money
Chasing fortune and fame
I’ve hit rock bottom
Can’t go on no more
I gotta pick up them pills
I got scattered all over the floor

I’ve hit rock bottom
Not a dollar to my name
Lost all the money
Chasing fortune and fame
I’ve hit rock bottom
Can’t go on no more
I gotta pick up them pills
I got scattered all over the floor

I’m gonna pick up them pills
I got scattered all over the floor
