[Verse 1]
I won't waste away, I won't let this take me down
I can survive as long as I keep it around
I wish it would fade, but it'll just sell me out
Over and over and over, I cry out loud

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody save me
Somebody save me

[Chorus]
The race I run
It keeps me further from the man I could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away 'til there is none

[Verse 2]
How long 'til I break from the weight of what's killing me?
Confused to the day, I'll suffer, afraid to speak
I carry the shame and beg for the remedy
How long must I live with the damage of my disease?

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
[Chorus]
The race I run
It keeps me further from the man I could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away 'til there is none

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The race I run
It keeps me further from the man I could become
The damage done
I want to wash the filth away 'til there is none
