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
