Lyrics
Doing Time
Since I was young, I want to be first, close to the edge, I feel the burst
Well I'm at it again, cresting the hill, gotta fire that's burning, and I'm bringing it fuel
Gotta demon that drives, pegging the line, everything's getting hazy
Nothing to lose, rolling the dice, doing time don't phase me
So I'm taking off on another run, I might find some trouble looking for fun
It's impossible to pull this pedal back, there's a few more gears I haven't damaged yet
Never back down from a challenge or fight, just don't make me angry
Nothing to lose, sinister ride doing time don't phase me
But I hear that voice, might need some translating
Speaks in tongues, still a mystery
Well I'm back again and I'm getting close, I can wait in line for another dose
Well this suffering and sacrifice, told it was free, now I'm paying the price
Cause something I want what I might get might not be the same thing
Try till it hurts, spitting out dirt doing time don't phase me
