No Future (death Or Jail)

Lonely nights shaped me

And a dead end job saved me

Death or jail was not a choice for me

I spent hours in my room dreaming

Of a better day to come to me

I'm still waiting on my hopes and dreams

I come from no future and reach for the light

These days I'm hanging on without a net

Looking back on life plagues me

And the passing of my time haunts me

I still have a road laid out for me

I come from no future and reach for the light

These days I'm hanging on without a net

I got nothing to catch me if I should fall again

I don't want everything. I want it all.

The kids on the streets come and they meet

Underneath the street lights

They're killing their lives on a heroin high

All of them doing time

I gotta get out. Gotta make a new life

Said the teenager in me then

Years down the line I see them sometimes

The guys that I knew back when

I came from no future and reach for the light

These days I'm hanging on without a net

Death or jail was not a choice for me

Death or jail was not a choice for me

I'm still waiting on my hopes and dreams

Death or jail was not a choice for me
