"How To Live" lyrics

"How To Live"

I looked with Ghost inside my head, so long
We built this home and I let no one in
Emptied my soul to empty every bottle
I had control 'til I hit the bottom

Had to face the pain, had to wrestle doubt
Thought I was lost for good 'til I made it out
Everybody wants to change but never right now
I had to wake up before my time was
Out

I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed me how to live

No one will know the wars I fought with sobriety
Yeah, I was so close to killing what's left inside of me

(I) Had to face the pain, had to wrestle doubt
(I) Thought I was lost for good 'til I made it out
Everybody wants to change but never right now
I had to wake up before my time ran
Out

I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed me how to live

I gotta wake up before my time runs out
Yeah, I gotta wake up before my time runs out

I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed me how to live
