lyrics

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 turns 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.
we neither support corporations selling demise and death,
nor cartels that steal our last dollars, while they take our last breaths.

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 drugfree 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.

You're my anchor! You saved me from death.
I will be with you until my last breath.

You're my anchor! You saved me from myself.
Together we will prevail until our last breaths.

You tought 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!
