Opening

It's a long way up from rock bottom There's been times I felt I could fall further I have loved and lost and feared and prayed But now the day bursts wild and open I have cried tears at my brother's grave I have shaken hands with my wife's surgeon I spent weeks inside the darkest cage But now the day bursts wild and open There's a time to cry, there's a time to fold There's a time for holding on or to let it go There's a time to run to the arms of hope And the day bursts wild and open I was raised by the church Choir boy still far from fizzling Not the pop star they say they prefer Kept quiet but I came to be heard Been a long time up top, but I ain't complacent If I look down, I can see replacements Late night drive with my heartbeat racing Gotta make dreams and chase them Taken my fair share of that ridicule But the words are not applicable Catalogue formidable Me and that guy are in a different place Undefeated but that's tempting fate Two of them tried it, I won both cases Won't get back all the time they wasted I am not losing steam In this world, there's no relaxing I've been here since migraine skanking Never been cool, but never been a has-been I'd kip on your couch if you knew me back then Don't tell 'em 'bout the walls you're trapped in Gotta keep this Usain pace Don't ask me how I got this break I built my own bricks through constant playing SB died, couldn't stop this pain I look at the dots in space I wonder if he's proud Or thinks that his best friend lost his way Keep it together for my daughters Gotta come natural, I don't wanna force it If it's not factual, don't support it Every year, gotta re-swim these waters Draw a line For the sake of all your family and friends Draw a line So history doesn't happen again Draw a line For the day to start, the night has to end Draw a line For all of these ghosts Too high to fly this plane Too fucked to drive this range Can't remember the last time I was on my own without Kev, it's kinda strange Not been the same since nineteen Now to push Ly on a swing, I gotta wear disguises I'm up for trading life sometimes And that may surprise them Every stadium, I played it But I would still do it for free Gotta keep standards top of the top of the tree Press still got problems with me When school starts, I might peace out Till then, I keep chasing the dream I could end it, but I don't wanna reach out 'Cause he means nothing to me Don't worry 'bout what I make Don't trip them up to win this race When your career's in a risky place Everything seems like a big mistake I'm still looking for shit to say Deluding myself that they still relate Depression, I keep at bay Tomorrow's a different day Me and that guy don't speak no more I know why, but he's not sure So what is the reason for? My heart's been broke so many times by loved ones that I don't even feel like talking So heed that warning Circle keeps getting smaller All I need is Chez and my daughters and a few friends to help me Draw a line For the sake of your little girls and their time Draw a line But allow yourself some moments to cry Draw a line And leave the past that hurt you behind Draw a line For all of these ghosts Draw a line Be grateful that you've been where you've been Draw a line And recognise the path that happened between Draw a line There's future here that's yet to be seen Draw a line And the day bursts wild and open
