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, 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 relieve 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
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 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 found myself locked in a cell, and I was just another number
The thin ice was cracking, and I was sinking under
Often never felt, but when I felt, often was sorrow
Worried 'bout today, dread what 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
Or sit 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
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 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 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
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 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 was a skull)
(I was a skull)
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky
I was a, I was a, I was a, I was a
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky
I was a, I was a, I was a, I was a
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky
