It Never Comes from Comfort

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
