I used to think I was the toughest
guy on the planet.
I was invincible.
Nothing could stop my risky ways.
I was going to climb it,
fight it, slam it,
love it any
way I could.

And that's how I played it,
***** to the wall,
full tilt boogie,
crankin' it up to the max,
all the time.

Oh yeah, I did find success,
I found trouble too.
I've eaten humble pie,
cried myself to sleep,
spent thousands on big mistakes
on more than one occasion.

Traffic tickets,
scars & broken hearts
seemed my mantra.
Those things have
taught my *******
that stupid ****
can't last forever.

I'm on my way back from the abysses.
