Give Up

(album: It Was Fun While It Lasted - 2020)

Looking up
Never down
Part of the crowd
In a room of doubt
Moving sea
Of bone and meat
Bodies merging into
One big heap

The hand to rescue me
Just out of reach

And the sound
I have found
It's getting loud
That incessant ring
In my ears
What I fear
Most of all
Deterioration

I know it's a foolish thing to dwell
Thinking of falling is the reason I fell
As far as I can see
You're just like me

Whatever I was back then
I'm not like that now
Tell me you're scared, who cares?
We're all scared somehow

I was told
By a man
To shoot for the stars
But they don't shine for me
What I see
Is a big black could
And a faded dream

Well, sorry, I don't mean to sound so grim
But sometimes these thoughts are deafening
Wouldn't you agree
You're just like me?

Whatever I was back then
I'm not like that now
Tell me you're scared, who cares?
We're all scared somehow
Yeah, we're all scared somehow
Yeah, we're all scared

You may feel left over
But you'll always make my team

Whatever I was back then, I'm not like that now
Tell me you're scared, who cares? We're all scared somehow

Say you give up, I give in
Say you give up, I give in
Say you give up, I give in
Say you give up, I give in
