Dane DeLucchi - Doing Time Lyrics

Day by day
Week to week
Life will prey on
The ones who think
It doesn't matter what I say
My life is theirs
To throw away

I don't know what
I'm in here for
I did the best
That I could afford
I guess I got myself
In this mess
I was hoping for no
Consequences

I can feel the world as it splits in two
Nothing turned out like I wanted it to
You know I never really ever asked for this
I was caught off guard
In a state of bliss
My head has been buzzing like a telephone
Happily ever after was so long ago
It's hard to remember
It's hard to exist
I never knew I could feel
I pain like this

Everyone and everything
The ones who throw
The book at me
They don't forgive
What makes me real
My dependence on the
Need to feel

I could spend the
Rest of my days
Trying to find a way
Out of this place
I could scream and
Be ignored
As I pull on
The iron bars

The blades of my anger whittle at my
The waves of the future wash away the old
I can only achieve a temporary fix
My heart is in my throat as I reminisce
I can only think what I think should be heard
I even try my best to put it into words
But there's not a reason
There's not a rhyme
I've been sentenced to death
But I'm still doing time
