I've just returned from a long round trip
Many tales I have to tell
But I've seen the gates of Hell
How can a youth rise above all the shit
He clutched the pipe, took his last hit
And nobody's heard from him since
In this world of confusion
The pain was breaking my heart
found myself falling apart
Miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle
Making my own matters worse
To end up dead in a dark alleyway
Or to ride in the back of a hearse
To die for a cause like pride or respect
Or honor would make you quite worthy
A pitiful waste to live in the sewer
And die before you reach thirty
copping out, lose so much
hangin' out, dippin' butts
Lost my mind smoking dust
Back in the days I was living a lie
Too cool to show my feelings
Lost in a fog and unsure of my friends
headed straight for the end
As the flames burnt the rope
I said to myself continue no longer
Today I face the world with a mind
Spent my time gettin' nice
I crapped out rolling dice
