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 holdin' on and 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 fizzlin' Not the popstar 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 racin', gotta make dreams and chase 'em 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 temptin' fate, two of them tried it, I won both cases Won't get back all the time they wasted, I am not losin' sleep In this world, there's no relaxin', I've been here since migraine skankin' 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 playin' 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 I'm 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 u for trading' life sometimes, and that may surprise 'em 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 And when school starts, I might peace out, 'til then I keep chasin' the dream I could end it, but I don't wanna reach out 'cause he means nothin' 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 lookin' for shit to say, deludin' 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 ever feel like talkin' So heed that warning, circle keeps gettin' 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, 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
