I want to be overcome
But I can't. I am numb
I want to see what's become
Close my eyes bite my tongue
If you'll believe in me
I'll try not to die
If work keeps me living
It's got to start giving me life
Not strife
I'm so tired of living here
I'm so tired of giving here
I want to run and be free
But I can't I am so weak
I want to hold you again
In my arms, my old friend
I have just one more chance to feel
What's real
I can't keep going on
I feel my mind slowing
My heart's torn apart
I'm so tired of living here
I'm so tired of giving here
But I can't. I am numb
I want to see what's become
Close my eyes bite my tongue
If you'll believe in me
I'll try not to die
If work keeps me living
It's got to start giving me life
Not strife
I'm so tired of living here
I'm so tired of giving here
I want to run and be free
But I can't I am so weak
I want to hold you again
In my arms, my old friend
I have just one more chance to feel
What's real
I can't keep going on
I feel my mind slowing
My heart's torn apart
I'm so tired of living here
I'm so tired of giving here

it's a story about living in an emotionally desensitizing society (i am numb/i'm so weak/i'm so tired..) with a bit of nostalgia. (my old friend) etc etc.
the chorus is a little too shout-along for my tastes, but it's beautiful nontheless.
