You know I'm older, none the wiser

I've been stripped and I've been tarred

No time to heal those scars

You know I'm colder, a self-despiser

Well I can't go back again

I've been losing all my friends

But I told you I was coming, and it took a lot of years

So the best laid plans get tossed aside, from blood, sweat, pain, and tears

I showed you I was hungry, and I take what I can get

I'm still hanging on by one damn thread, no it hasn't killed me yet

I've been tied up, shook and broken

By the life of sin, made the bed I'm lying in

I still get choked up, cold and restless

So when there's no more breath for me, maybe I can find peace

Well I told you I was coming, and it took a lot of years

So the best laid plans get tossed aside, from blood, sweat, pain, and tears

Knew that I was hungry, took what I could get

Still hanging by one damn thread, no it hasn't killed me yet

But I told you I was coming, it took a lot of years The best laid plans get tossed aside, from blood, sweat, pain, and tears

Well, I showed you I was hungry, and I take what I can get

Still hanging by one damn thread, no it hasn't killed me yet

Well I told you I was coming and it took a lot of years

The best laid plans get tossed aside, from the blood, sweat, pain, and tears

I showed you I was hungry, I took what I could get

Still hanging by one damn thread, no it hasn't killed me yet
