Fill in the blanks! (help me understand english song lyric)

I love this guy but it's difficult to understand what he's singing.
I tried googling the lyric but came up with nothing.
Please help, thanks!



so there are many here among us
who have lost more than they've gained
???

it's like a smoke to calm the nerves
like a drink to push the hurt down
sadness ???

but i believe in something
like i believe in you
while i can't touch it, taste it, see it,
times like this, really, any damn thing will do

have we ???

so your head is filled questions
and the future's hard to see
???

is that same old tired song
that keeps string us along (darling?)
dreaming of the night zip up the melody repeats
and repeats, and repeats, and repeats

???
lose the chains that bind
???
??? toward some god damn peace of mind

???

???
???
???
???

you have nothing more to give
you found nothing in return
same old song
the saddest one you've ever heard

but i believe in something
i believe in you
and i promise it gets better my friend
???
any damn thing will do

???
