The Backstairs

The Backstairs

Tripped and stumbled and I’ve fallen down Climbed my way back up from the cold hard ground Walked these streets at night, I’ve seen people turn Heard ‘em call me names that I never earned Livin’ in my skin a simple twist of fate I’ve seen the mark of Cain leave a bitter taste But I’m gonna get out of here get off the backstairs Gonna turn on the light in a brand new house Gonna step right through the front door With dirty boots on a clean floor But I’m gonna get out of here get off the backstairs And someday, I’m gonna step right through the front door With dirty boots on a clean floor Suffered in silence, and I’ve been let down Seen the ones I trusted, steal the dreams I found I’ve been slow to change, never knew this life Could kick so hard, could really hurt Livin’ in my skin a simple twist of fate Get off The Backstairs, before its too late I should have sold my soul, a long, long time ago I should have felt the weight resting on my shoulders But I found out, I had to live without The freedom of sunlight from the shadow of a doubt Before it’s too late
