This year has taken its toll
I no longer think that I'll never grow old
I've been put on and put out
I've thrown up and thrown down
I got my mind out of the clouds
And my eyes off the ground
Too soon to sober up
I'd still let you cut me up
Old enough to give advice
Caught myself going on about survival
Just get me high so I can sleep
Whatever, don't let me think
Caught myself going on about survival
For the one I love, I've been replaced
But I'll learn to love my fate
I would lure, I'd bait, and I'd wait
Now we've found some light in the dark
A means to ignite our old spark
But the tears that I've saved
Just wont wash her away
It's been there from the start
Now we take up in arms
But the tears that I've saved
Just wont wash her away
We can't tell you what it all means
Put up our hands and scream
We can't tell you what it all means
Put up your hands and scream
This is existence out of spite
Caught myself going on about survival
Compensating for every failed revival
For the one I love, I've been replaced
But I'll learn to love my fate
I would lure, I'd bait, and I'd wait
Now we've found some light in the dark
A means to ignite our old spark
But the tears that I've saved
Just wont wash her away
This world has passed us by
Along with all meaning in life
So I reflect and I write
Til it clicks or 'til I die
I need a stage to get high
Need a crowd to survive
Too soon to sober up
I'd still let you cut me up
Old enough to give advice
Caught myself going on about survival
It's been there from the start
Now we take up in arms
Cause some words that are sharp
Will draw blood for the sharks
