Star (feat. Carlton Livingston) - Easy Star All-Stars

One foot in the ground One foot in the grave Don't you dare make a sound, shh Hear you from a mile away Run from the town All you need is your name And the sweat on your brow And the blood running through your veins Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh One eye on the clock One eye on the mirror Take a step through your thoughts Is it getting clearer? If they follow you whenever night falls Will you still listen to my call Who do you trust to knowing it all? Or knowing it all? Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Tell me that you hate me Yeah, I heard it all before There is a life here for the taking Is it mine or is it yours? All I am is what you make me You're on both sides of the war It's not the devil that you're facing It's just your shadow on the floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh It's just your shadow on the floor

It's just genetic, it's written in your DNA It's symptomatic, at least that's what the doctors say It's in your nature finding darkness in the brightest day But here we are 'Cause you were made from stars to live a life you'd never love So if this is the last night and you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow You know I said it, I'd never let you fade away It's energetic, the bond was never meant to break You were made from scars to live a life you'd rise above So if this is the last night and you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow So if this is the last–, time I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't any–, where I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow (oh-oh-oh) I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow

I wish I was a couple years older Couple years wiser Just so I could know your heart But I know that it would still confuse me anyway I felt just a few degrees colder Ever since the day you left Spare my soul Now I can still feel the pieces of my youth just stripped away What is life but a merry-go-round Just circling doubts living up in my head I know that they want me dead Keep me up when I try to stay down I try to forget all the things they said But they won't let me go I try to fall asleep But they won't let me dream I just hope someday we'll come to terms I'm falling underneath And I try so hard to breathe As this roller coaster kills me So this goes out to the mind games in my head You raise hell every night inside of my bed I don't know where you came from But I won't play your carnival no more I wish I was just a little stronger So they couldn't beat me up But they did Now I can still feel the mulch that they kicked at me pierce my hope So I dusted off my shoulders and then Told myself that I could prove it to them Just trying to justify the first taste of feeling low I try to fall asleep But they won't let me dream I just hope someday we'll come to terms 'Cause I'm falling underneath And I try so hard to breathe As this roller coaster kills me So this goes out to the mind games in my head You raise hell every night inside of my bed I don't know where you came from But I won't play your carnival no more
