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
