Ate lunch with the Devil, was dancin' with death I'm makin' the most of the chance I have left One hand to the sky, one hand on my chest If you ask if I'm scared, then the answer is yes I done been up, I done been poor Not even a dollar, I slept on the floor I'm mounting the problems, they can't be ignored I came from the bottom to settle the score Lord gave me a shot with this music I promise them no more excuses I'm tryin' so hard, you can tell by my scars And my past is so damn abusive It's time I tell you what the truth is Some days I swear I feel useless My happiness has been elusive I had an encounter with Judas Somewhere in the dark, along the line, I lost my mind The old me is a prisoner that's somewhere lost in time I had family I treated right that tried to take my life Look at my back and you won't find no room to put another knife
I lost my mind I got no shame And I keep tryin' not to cry Got this ice runnin' through my veins And I got fire in my eyes
All the things that I've done in the darkness All the nights that my mind wasn't whole And down in my soul, there's just one thing I know Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for They all fall down Just like a house of cards They all fall down And Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
Hold up Throw me a second, let's roll up Been struggling, tryna get sober Fuck it, pass me the drink and let's pour up But don't ask what's in my styrofoam You can tell the lights are on But there ain't nobody home Been smokin' that killer shit You can tell that I'm feelin' it You can tell that I'm really lit Out of body experience Back in my zone, packin' my bag Ain't been the same since that happened to dad I've been barefooted while walkin' on glass Surrounded by flames with a can full of gas Ready for war, put on my armor I'm doin' this for my son and my daughter As I kneel down at the foot of the Father Left all my problems right there at the alter And he washed away every sin Now I'm back and I'm better than I've ever been
I lost my mind I got no shame And I keep tryin' not to cry Got this ice runnin' through my veins And I got fire in my eyes
All the things that I've done in the darkness All the nights that my mind wasn't whole And down in my soul, there's just one thing I know Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for They all fall down Just like a house of cards They all fall down And Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
