Let me tell a story
About this kid that I knew
He left his house in the burbs
And now he's submerged
His life is in a bag
Now a two dollar rag
And I'll ask him
How does it feel
Who's your real friend
The guy on the corner trying to catch the trend
You can do better than that
Take a look around you
Your living like a rat _ brat
Started out young _ on a street so old
Walk around the block
Ten years been sold
I'm _ in a coffin
And the door _ is closing
I'm dying _ dying
Lost in time trying to get back to nowhere
Now you've been around
What is it that you found
You never took a chance
Never gave a second glance
Like a dream _ you never wake up from
And your life has just unspun
So what's up with that
You just don't give a damn
What about your family
I'm your family man
I'm _ in a coffin
And the door _ is closing
I'm dying _ dying
Lost in time trying to get back to nowhere
So what about the days
Laughing about nothing
But now you spend your time
Thinking you could have been something
Isn't it sad
You were so bad
You were hard-core
I thought you were hard-core man
I'm _ in a coffin
And the door _ is closing
I'm dying _ dying
I'm _ in a coffin
And the door _ is closing
I'm dying _ dying
Dying, dying, dying
Lost in time trying to get back to nowhere
