No Way Out
Nicotated Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't make it very far
Don't even have a car
My lungs are filled with tar
These memories
Pain me to think about
I'm always on the route to failure
To failure
The substance and its misuse
Regretting past decisions, the future I envision
It's time to get my life straight
Before it's way too late
Before it's way too late
Before it's way too late
