Skulls and Stars Song Lyrics

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

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
