For so long, he struggled, he could not break the chains This society made him press the needle into his veins This is a story of a man of defeat The vagabond, not able to stay on his feet I am pretty sure you know someone like him A free man once, now a fallen one living in sin A person who keeps using, not able to cast off the yoke While the addiction slowly turn his life into a fucking joke Let me tell you one thing "Those people of whom I choose to sing Did not choose to trade the heavens for the abyss It was not their life-long dream to end like this" You don't poison yourself, neither do I We are not enslaved by drugs, we will be fine ♪ So let compassion guide our hearts Our lives are not so far apart from those of the addicted Let's think of them as friends in need, as next of kin We are the sober-minded, the drug-free youth Let's use our privileged point of view We can be a force of solidarity And help those struggling with addiction to find some clarity To find some clarity You're my anchor, you saved me from death I will be with you until my last breaths You're my anchor, you saved me from myself Together, we will prevail until our last breaths You taught me to believe in myself You made me find the strength, the trust, the will to fight I'm my anchor, an iron mind to battle death I have to thank you for saving me from myself Always believe in yourself All I ever need is in myself
