Working my way up that ladder of success Never knew how high to climb Lost my footing time and time again Never gave up, no I never stopped trying Never sure what lies ahead of me Can't keep myself from looking behind Hard to believe in anything When you're down or looking way up high I believe in the devil yeah I see him all the time Every morning in the mirror like he's looking me in the eyes And I would play my part but I realize That I'm always running short or running out on someone else's time I wish one day that I could walk straight Through Hell and ask for all those wishes back I get a rush from all the things that I lack I had that feeling just the other day, Something left me down and turn around Hard to believe in an easier way when Every road I take keeps leading me down I believe in Heaven yeah I see it all the time In the face of a stranger like it's looking me in the eyes And I would play until the bottom of the curtain bends But every solid beginning needs a solid end
