[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...
