I've been up and down these streets, I've seen both sides of town
I've been through the hardship, the long way around
The point of no return, just where I begin
I spent a lot of time with all seven deadly sins
Hated who I was, who I became
Lost my faith in God, but my faith in cocaine
Cheated on my girlfriends, lied to myself
Put my whole family through hell
When the dust settles down, you've seen where you've been
You're running on empty, broken within
When the dust settles down, there ain't nothing left
Turning around
Start over again
And when you have nothing left, find out what you're worth
I came through the storm, stopped digging in the dirt
I rewound the tape, and saw through the evil and hate
Started believing that I had what it takes
I went back to the start, working full shifts through the worst *
Kicking carpet and bouncing punks at the bar
I got a new life now, now that I'm legit
You can call the cops, man, and don't be *
When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're running on empty
You're broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothing left
Turn it around
Start over again
When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're running on empty
You're broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothing left
Turn it around
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're running on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothing left
Turn it around
Start over again
you
