Whether it's love or drugs or drinks lust or vanity
Just take what you need but don't let
your vices bring you further down with them
While you wander through this old life
Yea the world will leave it's mark
While you pretend it's all just fine
While you wait and wait keeps you up all night
And I'd try to explain if I could
But now you're prone to the elements to the raging cold
And life'll break you like it broke me
It'll wear you down
Set your soul to sleep
And I'd try to help you if I could
And if you're finding that your metal
skeleton's been replaced by flesh and bone
While you wonder how the world whittled you down
Got you clinging to the crutches
you've been trying not to lean on
Whether it's faith in gods or just
yourself old records and closest friends
Just use what suits you best
And hey
If you need it then you need it
To find a way to get through this old life
