Ate lunch with the Devil, was dancin' with deathI'm makin' the most of the chance I have leftOne hand to the sky, one hand on my chestIf you ask if I'm scared, then the answer is yesI done been up, I done been poorNot even a dollar, I slept on the floorI'm mounting the problems, they can't be ignoredI came from the bottom to settle the scoreLord gave me a shot with this musicI promise them no more excusesI'm tryin' so hard, you can tell by my scarsAnd my past is so damn abusiveIt's time I tell you what the truth isSome days I swear I feel uselessMy happiness has been elusiveI had an encounter with JudasSomewhere in the dark, along the line, I lost my mindThe old me is a prisoner that's somewhere lost in timeI had family I treated right that tried to take my lifeLook at my back and you won't findno room to put another knifeI lost my mindI got no shameAnd I keep tryin' not to cryGot this ice runnin' through my veinsAnd I got fire in my eyesAll the things that I've done in the darknessAll the nights that my mind wasn't wholeAnd down in my soul, there's just one thing I knowHeaven ain't a place you go lookin' forThey all fall downJust like a house of cardsThey all fall downAnd Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' forHold upThrow me a second, let's roll upBeen struggling, tryna get soberFuck it, pass me the drink and let's pour upBut don't ask what's in my styrofoamYou can tell the lights are onBut there ain't nobody homeBeen smokin' that killer shitYou can tell that I'm feelin' itYou can tell that I'm really litOut of body experienceBack in my zone, packin' my bagAin't been the same since that happened to dadI've been barefooted while walkin' on glassSurrounded by flames with a can full of gasReady for war, put on my armorI'm doin' this for my son and my daughterAs I kneel down at the foot of the FatherLeft all my problems right there at the alterAnd he washed away every sinNow I'm back and I'm better than I've ever beenI lost my mindI got no shameAnd I keep tryin' not to cryGot this ice runnin' through my veinsAnd I got fire in my eyesAll the things that I've done in the darknessAll the nights that my mind wasn't wholeAnd down in my soul, there's just one thing I knowHeaven ain't a place you go lookin' forThey all fall downJust like a house of cardsThey all fall downAnd Heaven ain't a place you go lookin' for
