Did My Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Realized I can never win
Sometimes feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin?
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we supposed to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me
[Chorus]
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we suppose to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me
Realized I can never win
Sometimes feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin?
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we supposed to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me
[Chorus]
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we suppose to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me
[Chorus]
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Bridge]
Betrayed, I feel so enslaved
I really tried, I did my time
I did my time
I did my time!
I did my time!
I did my time!
[Chorus]
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Outro]
Oh God, the anger's changing me!
Oh God, the anger's changing me!
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Bridge]
Betrayed, I feel so enslaved
I really tried, I did my time
I did my time
I did my time!
I did my time!
I did my time!
[Chorus]
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me
[Outro]
Oh God, the anger's changing me!
Oh God, the anger's changing me!
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The song was an unfinished demo from 2002’s Untouchables. James “Munky” Shaffer had written the main riff and was playing it every day, and producer Michael Beinhorn couldn’t stand it. In early 2003, Korn completed the whole song, and caught the attention of Paramount Pictures who wanted to use it in the film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. However, the song was only released as a single for the film, and featured during the films end credits. It did not appear on the motion picture soundtrack, due to certain clauses in Jonathan Davis’s record contract at the time.
