[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I wish one day that I could walk straight through hell
And ask for all those wishes back
And in my twisted parody of self
I'd 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
[Chorus 2]
But 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
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
