[Verse 1]

Never grew up on the wrong side of the tracks

Just broke, white trash, never took a bath

So sad being poor, people look and laugh

Looking back, it's cos dad never went to class

Then hate bloomed on every thought I'm holding on to

So what, he dropped out, guess I did too

Loose nails in my head, puking up booze

Grow cold, holding on to moments slowly gone

All is lost, God it's hard, I start to fall apart

Use the words inside my head before I blow it off

Every night I sit and cry about this fucking life

Wipe my eyes, someone's coming, "nothing wrong" I lie

Then I disguise hurt I feel with jokes to make it by

But then again I'm all alone and then I'm seeing why


[Chorus]

Doing time

Using up my tears at night

Abusive life

I slowly start to lose my mind

I'm doing time

Living life I wake and cry I wonder why

I had to live to have to die

I'm doing time


[Verse 2]

Daily seeing days pass, sky is bright then pitch black

Yesterday was fifth grade, tomorrow dawns a new class

News flash: Every day we're dying, so sad

I know that, hope is lost and falling so fast

Go back, take a look at days from way back

Wake up, go to bed, then wake up, don't crash!

It's so fast, holding on to help the pain flash

And shame pass, grabbing on to make this day last

Say that no one else could ever understand

It's evident you're not alone so go on, take my hand

Feel the sand, the wind that blows, the breeze against my skin

Consider this, happiness before you reach an end

Reaching in the bag to get the puzzle piece you get

Then make the fit, life is empty if you waste the chips

Ante up, make a bed and take this bread to live

And fill the cup, smile bitch cos this is all you get


[Chorus]

Doing time

Using up my tears at night

Abusive life

I slowly start to lose my mind

I'm doing time

Living life I wake and cry I wonder why

I had to live to have to die

I'm doing time

Doing time

Using up my tears at night

Abusive life

I slowly start to lose my mind

I'm doing time

Living life I wake and cry I wonder why

I had to live to have to die

I'm doing time
