[chorus:]
i was a skull in the ground now iand'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 iand'm a star in the sky
I tried love, heaven, hope and takinand' 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 wasnand't even worth living like this
a grown man trapped inside a young manand'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 and'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 iand'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 iand'll appreciate today and every day until iand'm gone
[chorus x2]
I was a skull in the ground now iand'm a star in the sky...
