Chorus: I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky

I went from crawling around to being able to fly

Saw no future for me until I opened my eyes

I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky



I tried love, heaven, hope and takin' chances

And all I got were broken dreams and failed romances

Suffered to a life of skin covered in scratches

Looking for the light but I could never find the passage

Tension, stress, pain yeah you best believe it

Nose bleeding from my false way to relieve it

Enough confusion to make serenity sick

All my fake friends became my enemies quick

Everyday I found another way to make excuses

Took the ropes I was supposed to climb and made nooses

Being stupid always giving in to the myth

That life wasn't even worth living like this

A grown man trapped inside a young man's skin

With resentment very very deep within

On a mission to end up either dead or in jail

No wonder everybody always said that I would fail



Chorus x2



I found myself locked in a cell and I was just another number

The thin ice was cracking and I was sinking under ... in with sorrow

Worried 'bout today dread would happen by tomorrow

Who knows the answers well nobody knows for certain

The evil things I did when I chose to close the curtain

Perhaps I should relapse quit relapse quit

Force it back and relax with a sack of good shit

Now I find myself in a candlelit depression

Using sex like drugs just to handle my aggression



Chorus x2



i had a little, had a lot, had it all and then I lost it

Stars are in my eyes and skeletons are in my closet

Now when I open my eyes and I rise from the dead

Take control of my soul cause the lies are in my head

The right way is the left way and the left way is wrong

So I'm left with the right way and the right way is long

So for once in my life I truly feel like I belong

So I'll appreciate today and every day until I'm gone



Chorus x2



I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky...
