Skulls and Stars

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 open my eyes

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

I tried love having 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 believe it

Enough confusion to make serenity sick

All my fake friends became my enemies quick

Every day 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 resentments buried very deep within

On a mission to end up either dead or in jail

No wonder everybody always said that I would fail

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 open my eyes

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

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

The thin ice cracking and I was sinking under

Often never felt but when I felt was often sorrow

Worry about today dread what would happend 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

Or sit back and relax with a sack of good shit

Now If ind myself in a candlelit depression

Using sex like drugs to handle my aggression

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 open my eyes

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

I had a little had a lot had it all

Then I lost it

Stars in my eyes, skeletons are in my closet

Now when I open my eyes and 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 till I'm gone
