I took advantage of my own life

Now I can say that I’m doing hard time

I’m just doing hard time

Wired for self-destruction

Is there forgiveness for scum like me?

I mark the wall to count the days

Waiting to be freed from my darkened place

I feel the void that drives my brain to the breaking point

Let me be free again

This is the man you’ve known

Caught up in everything, I’m losing my soul

And in the end, I did this to myself

Let me learn my lesson locked in this cell

I took advantage of my life

Now I can say that I’m doing hard time

Replay my sins in the back of my mind and make amends as I’m doing hard time

Spent my life playing the same game

No sense of consequence

No sense of grace

This is my darkest place

You’ll never see me again
