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
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And if you're finding that your metal skeleton's been
replaced by flesh and bone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
