Rolling down a graveled road with twist and bends hanging half off the wagon with my feet dragging chasing dragons again born in the myer one foot in the fire other on the ladder if I loose my fight with my demons tonight just know I tried gave it one hell of a fight on the stairway to heaven a lost soul falling down the stairway to heaven back on the highway to hell I go
I packed my sins in a suitcase tight
Hit the road under a blood-red light
The shadows whispered my name
I climbed that ladder
Rung by rung
Each step felt like a bell being rung the devil laughed he knew my game
I'm slipping
Falling
Losing grip
One foot in heaven
The other starts to slip
Tripping back down
Where the darkness dwells
From the stairway to heaven to the highway to hell
The angels called
Said boy come clean
But the dirt's so thick
It won't come off me
I keep scrubbing but the stain just spreads
The demons grin
They hold my chains
They say keep climbing
We’ll catch you again
Every step feels like a weight of lead
Running fast with a busted compass
Shadows chase me through the endless dusk
Got a bottle half gone full of whispers in my hand
Each one screams "you’re a broken man"
I see the staircase glowing white
One more step I’ll make it right
I slipped on the stairway to heaven
Tripped back down to the highway to hell
Out of control like a freight train to nowhere
Trying to rise but I fell
Yeah I fell
Counting scars like they’re medals of war
Every win feels like I lost ten more
The road is cracked and the signs are lies
Every turn takes me deeper inside
I see the staircase shining still
One more try
Bend my will
Rolling down a graveled road with twist and bends hanging half off the wagon with my feet dragging chasing dragons again born in the myer one foot in the fire other on the ladder if I loose my fight with my demons tonight just know I tried gave it one hell of a fight on the stairway to heaven a lost soul falling down the stairway to heaven back on the highway to hell I slipped on the stairway to heaven
Tripped back down to the highway to hell
Out of control like a car with no driver
Burned my brakes and you can tell
Yeah you can tell
Oh I'm slipping
Falling
Losing grip
One foot in heaven
The other starts to slip
Tripping back down
Where the darkness dwells
From the stairway to heaven to the highway to hell
