[Verse 1]
I took a journey to the lowest place on Earth
Got a shovel and I dug into the dirt
Put an apple and some water in my backpack
Well, I don't know if I will ever take a backtrack
Black's the only colour I could see
Then my hand just disappeared in front of me
And when I finally hit a piece of solid stone
Began to wonder if I'll ever make it home

[Chorus]
This might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep but, for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom, I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth

[Verse 2]
I kept on digging till it turned into a climb
That's when I knew that I had reached the other side
My biceps turned into a solid rock
I found my rhythm and I knew I couldn't stop
When the light began to leak into the cave
I cried because I knew I had been saved

[Chorus]
This might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep but, for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom, I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth

[Bridge]
Digging and digging till I see the Sun
I dig the hole that I must overcome
Climbing and climbing till I make it out
Pulling my body onto solid ground

[Chorus]
Might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep but, for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom, I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to free fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
