from the album “Through the Eyes”
ONLY THE STRONG
What makes me think that it’ll all work out in the end?Afraid to feel bad, better off to try and pretend
I’m immortal, immune to all that is wrong,
Just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers so long.
Is this helping? I’m growing weaker each day.
Can’t stop whining, still afraid of what I might say,
Or reactions that control us one and all.
It’s mine, it’s pure and as decent as I can make myself inside.
We all know only the strong survive.
Why don’t you think about that?
So now I’m bleeding on myself, yes, once again.
Seems I trusted another deceitful friend.
My fault, I should have known the deal:
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, for real.
Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard,
Trying to guess life’s dealing, what’s the next card?
I’m surely folding, I don’t like this hand at all.
It’s mine, it’s pure and as decent as I can make myself inside.
We all know only the strong survive.
(Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side.)
Maybe things happen for a reason, and wherein lies the answer
To overcome the grieving of life’s unruly lessons I’m handed in succession?
It builds my pain which makes me strong.
It’s mine, it’s pure and as decent as I can make myself inside.
We all know only the strong survive.
Why don’t you think about that for a minute?
PAYBACK
There’s another reflection involved up in my mind,A wholeness that has just been lost,
Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find
Some value with a cheaper cost,
And as I reach out to hear you, the sound is so muffled,
It makes a lesser man of me.
So the only thing left to bring up to date is ... you suck!
Watch me fall while I go down,
I’m taking all you bastards to the ground with me then I’ll frown
On your fucking whole life, the systematic hype still means a bit much to me.
I’m at the point of retraction and still slipping further,
This place is getting worse for me.
There’s such a lack of direction and models to live by,
No bright skies ahead of me,
And as I reach out for your hand, you turn and then wander,
Why I simply just can’t see
No separation of gender, no difference in me.
You’re just leading me on and on and on.
You suck! Watch me fall while I go down,
I’m taking all you bastards to the ground with me then I’ll frown
On your fucking whole life, the systematic hype still means a bit much to me.
Pretty soon it’s gonna come back and be your turn.
Pretty soon you’re gonna be the one that burns.
Guess what? You suck!
Watch me fall while I go down,
I’m taking all you bastards to the ground with me then I’ll frown
On your fucking whole life the systematic hype still means a bit much to me.
Your turn now.
MY LETTER
This is my letter to you.We started following a certain description, we started simple and fair once again.
Before there wasn’t any need for an answer; things were much different then, but
Now you question who I am, who I am inside.
Now there’s nothing left to hide, so here it goes, this is my letter:
Hope you’re alright, it’s been rough for me, thinking all night about the places I’d be
If I maybe just did a little bit more you might have let me become a man for sure,
And if I might express one concern, it seems an issue all day at every turn:
What’s the next step, the latest hole in my life, what’s next for me to learn?
Engulf myself into a permanent mystery, no one day just as the next, not for me.
It’s so confusing when I look at my history; I just can’t handle that yet, no.
Now you question who I am, who I am inside.
Now there’s nothing left to hide, so here it goes, this is my letter:
Hope you’re alright, it’s been rough for me, thinking all night about the places I’d be
If I maybe just did a little bit more you might have let me become a man for sure,
And if I might express one concern, it seems an issue all day at every turn:
What’s the next step, the latest hole in my life, what’s next for me to learn?
One more friendship ends, and then for a while, I can breathe again.
GET UP AGAIN
Here we go again.A very temperamental process, beginning with all of our excess,
Affecting our very own ingest, this side of you is speechless,
Overwhelmed within an abscess, creating new diseases,
And infecting whomever it pleases, we’ve been living this way for too long,
Then I noticed a difference in the way that I saw other insects
Who were living a life of indulgence, sheltered by their parents.
Such an unlucky existence, not given a chance to experience
And make their own decisions, I wouldn’t trade my own mistakes at all.
Reach out your hands out for the ones who aid when the going gets rough until the end.
These are the ones who help when the times get tough, and times will get tough.
Get up again.
Here it comes once again.
WHOLE
So maybe I am bound by fate, a problematic scarring induced by hate.It never seems to all pan out; is that what all this teaching is needed to scout?
You seemed to have a bad effect, your rules and contradictions I would neglect.
Though not my fault, you made me feel like my own education wasn’t truly real.
Then you came right in, tearing out my soul.
How could all this loss be your only goal?
I’m left standing here, desperate in the cold.
Since you took your life, mine has not been whole.
So there I stood, a scolded child, the reasons never questioned, my pain’s been filed.
Inside this place that makes me feel, I learned life is unfair and that is very real.
Then you came right in, tearing out my soul.
How could all this loss be your only goal?
I’m left standing here, desperate in the cold.
Since you took your life, mine just has not been whole.
My life is just not whole.
While you try to overcome the lesson,
Making the most of those questions that just keeps me guessing.
I’m looking longer, harder, further than I ever have.
Solitude breaking me down, you always seemed glad
To hate yourself and stick me in that little pit.
Personal growth as a child, that mattered not a bit.
Then I became the person that you hated most,
Disrespecting the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
A small example of what the things you’ve done to me
Have changed in my life and changed the things that I can’t be, I’ll never be.
Then you came right in, tearing out my soul.
How could all this loss be your only goal?
I’m left standing here, desperate in the cold.
Since you took your life, mine just has not been whole.
My life is just not whole.
AMENDMENT
Come on and brace your face, engulfed up in the rat race,We hold our futures down.
So just resist the plot and find the answer etched eternal as we self destruct,
Day by day, one by one.
One more example of disrespect
That you seem to offer no more than complete neglect.
A generation with fate all tied.
This ain’t a game, we don’t enjoy this ride.
Try to perceive the lie, all caught up in your own high.
Opinions of yourself should be concerned about your life,
There’s been enough strife to crash a person’s hope,
And as the days delay our every other move,
We’ve been consumed by apathy, that’s right, it has become a pain,
Inside my brain is screaming, look what you’ve done to me.
Day by day, one by one.
One more example of disrespect
That you seem to offer no more than complete neglect.
A generation with fate all tied.
Your pain’s apparent, I think you know you lied, bastard.
It’s just the break we’re giving them.
It’s just the break that you’re giving them.
It’s the break I’m giving them.
Laid to waste out in the open, turned away once again.
This isn’t right, this ain’t supposed to happen now.
Life’s too short, we shouldn’t have to die,
And I have had to stop all of my emotions.
Why bittering faith escapes again?
Just look at what we have done.
Will you look at who we’ve become?
Priorities astray, it goes on and on each day.
We’ve wrecked their only try and still we wonder why
We’re recipients of hate, motherfucker.
Break your back just once and then you know
You got to face your fright, that’s right,
With your five second morals and your three second smile.
SCHEME
It woke up in me years ago how this was meant to be.All of those falsehoods, plain to see, they dug and hung their greed.
Will there be profit you could see? If only we were blind.
Lonely and sheltered, your life is free but it’s still one step behind,
Just like me, they tried their rules on me.
I broke those chains and fucking split,
And so you pass all the fascist asses, ignore those classes of bottleneck masses
Producing an all but awful stench, delivering a section of all the money stole and spent
As you start to recognise you’re in the game.
Growing afflictions head to toe, this never should have been,
But placing blame is cowardly, restructure must begin.
Will there be profit you could see? If only we were blind.
Lonely and sheltered, your life is free but it’s still one step behind,
Just like me, they tried their rules on me.
I broke those chains and fucking split,
And so you pass all the fascist asses, ignore those classes of bottleneck masses
Producing an all but awful stench, delivering a section of all the money stole and spent
As you start to recognise you’re in the game, yes, and the playing board is you.
WHAT I HAVE TO DO
Well, it seems as though everyone’s been led astray, far away from,From what we know, still can’t find a reason or the right words to say it’ll be okay.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong,
It’s the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still break away.
Caught up in a social degradation, you can’t even see the truth.
We’re only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof.
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we’re singled out.
It’s the only thing that keeps me alive, I do what I have to do.
How was I to know, force fed corporate trials each day, every single day?
But we must grow, echoing the single most important thing in the way.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong,
It’s the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still break away.
Caught up in a social degradation, you can’t even see the truth.
We’re only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof.
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we’re singled out.
It’s the only thing that keeps me alive, I do what I have to do.
Not slipping, drifting, falling one step further from the norm. What is the norm?
Not living, longing, trying so much harder than before. So what if I run far away?
Would I still be seen the same? Break away.
Caught up in a social degradation, you can’t even see the truth.
We’re only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof.
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we’re singled out.
It’s the only thing that keeps me alive, I do what I have to do.
It’s what I want.
INNER STRENGTH
Here we sit all alone in an outnumbered fight, led to decipher between wrong and right,And some may fail at this joke that some of us call life, yes, at this game some call life.
But the system can’t bail me out of hell, I’ve made this discovery and it has helped:
All I’ve got is myself, I have faith in that. Believe and one day you’ll do just as well now.
As you were, you little puppet, you pauper, you freak, that’s right,
That’s what some of them have said to me.
So I object and try to figure things out for myself, I’m building up full emotional wealth.
But the system can’t bail me out of hell, I’ve made this discovery and it has helped:
All I’ve got is myself, I have faith in that. Believe and one day you’ll do just as well now.
The inner strength is what the hate, it wants us not to feel.
It’s time that we helped, there’s no room to fail.
You already know the way out of hell.
All we got is ourselves, I have faith in that.
Believe and one day we’ll put the system in gaol.
I made it through, scraped black and blue, but so can you.
I made it through, scraped black and blue, and you can too.
We’ll all make it through.
BEST I AM
Now I’ve been running away for far too long, afraid of what I know is soon to come.I may not be much of an example right now, but I can give you all of my knowledge on how
To get along in this place, right now all I can say
Is I will do the best that I can to be a good example of man,
And I know one day that you’ll understand, you deserve the best that I am.
It’s so hard to think about when I was child,
So angry at life, I blamed the world for such a long, long time,
But things happened so quickly, some people just go,
I needed answers to heal me, I wanted to know how to get by,
And now its my turn to say that I will do the best that I can to be a good example of man,
And I know one day that you’ll understand, you deserve the best that I am.
This is all for you.
Everything in this world, everything in my world, everything in your world.
Things wont always go right in this life, there’s always changes, we’ll make it.
That’s why that I got to do the best that I can to be a good example of man,
And I know one day that you’ll understand, you deserve the best that I am.
OUT OF WHACK
Maybe nobody told you about this life, maybe nobody answered your questions why.Simple revelations, they come in time, those liars told us things would all be fine.
Born out of whack, give him something possible, you thought it would have mattered.
Not likely to change things, we’ve come too far,
Where innocent young kids are put behind bars.
But it’s an easy decision, banished so far, you’re not as civil as you think you are.
Born out of whack, give him something possible, you thought it would have mattered anyway.
We deserve to know why. You say we’re all born out of whack.
Well, don’t act so surprised how there’s been a lot going on
Since you realised that we’re all just kids trying to get along.
So answer one thing: are you gonna stay inside, are you gonna stay inside of our minds?
Are we all born wrong?
Born out of whack, give him something possible, you thought it would have mattered anyway.
RELIANCE
So you think the area’s grey, but it continues each day,A bad example of the attitude you portray .
Act like I owe you my life, you should be burdened with strife,
Can’t find a single reason I could live with you as my wife.
So I continue to pray, hope that you’ll go away,
A bad addiction to a home wrecking thing
Who plays with my heart, and that’s the bottom line, I feel so empty now.
What can you give me I can’t give myself, that’s right,
And what part of my life can you fix that I can’t fix my damn self?
I’m losing patience each day, I’ve put myself in harm’s way,
Can’t seem to justify none of the shit you say.
Can’t find another way out, there’s nothing left but pure doubt.
I’m on the verge of pulling all my hair straight out,
So if you listen to me, not to the powers that be,
We ain’t supposed to be together, can’t you see?
Indecision is the bottom line, I feel so empty now.
Just what can you give me I can’t give myself, that’s right,
And what part of my life can you fix that I can’t fix all by myself?
Just what can you give me I can’t give myself, that’s right,
And what part of my life can you fix that I can’t fix my damn self?
I’m gonna show you now, this time i’m getting out.
I’ve said it many times, but this time I have figured out
Just how i’m moving on, it’s taken way too long.
Inside I know i’ll feel much better when you’re really gone.
What can you give me I can’t give myself, that’s right,
And what part of my life can you fix that I can’t fix my damn self?
ONE MORE TIME
There must be something you can recommend. I’ve lost my faith in man again.So sick of trying to pretend, same pain over and over again.
How much longer do you think we’ll stand? So little left here to live for.
By the time my life is at its end, I want it back one more time,
Let me try one more time, live my life one more time.
We never seem ready for this.
It keeps on haunting me day after day. Am I going about things the right way?
Which truths to pass and with which truths to say, it’s all so hard, I’m just so damn afraid.
Had about as much as I can take, so little left here to live for.
By the time my life is at its end, I’ll want it back one more time,
I want a chance to live my life one more time.
Give me the chance to live my life one more time.
from the album “Endangered Species”
MEDICATE
I’ve been lying awake at night, I’ve been hoping that I’m alright,I’ve been winding myself too tight, wondering if I will sleep tonight.
Never thought things would get like this, always hoping that they’d work out,
Still ingesting the wrong amount, now I seem to be filled with doubt.
I cannot stop this ride, I’m growing cold inside,
I shouldn’t let it slide, will sickness be mine?
This should not be my weight to bear, go on acting like I don’t care.
Stop this high I wouldn’t dare, I have earned and deserve my share.
Things like this happen every day, while I’m in there I feel okay,
But you say I should get away, let me go just for one more day.
I cannot stop this ride, I’m growing cold inside,
I shouldn’t let it slide, will sickness be mine?
I’ve got to medicate myself, I’m not concerned about my health,
It covers up what I’ve been dealt, it seems the only way.
I’ve got to medicate myself, it’s been the only thing that’s helped.
Must cover up what I have felt, it seems the only way.
I cannot stop this ride, I’m growing cold inside,
I shouldn’t let it slide, will sickness be mine?
Sickness is mine.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
I try to simplify these thoughts that plague our minds.What is this mood we’re in? We live like saints with sin.
How much to dignify the facts that come to light?
We’ve lost the will to fight.
At the top of the food chain we arrive, are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive? We’ve got to redeem our souls.
Unable to comply, so eager to defy,
The risk when you apply, it hurts when loved ones die.
Where is the moment when existence will depend?
The test of now and then.
At the top of the food chain we arrive, are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive? We’ve got to redeem our souls.
Constant ending, no real mending.
If we keep on living like we are, there isn’t a chance that we’ll get very far.
So much wasted, so much lost, it’s our job to alter the terrible cost.
At the top of the food chain we arrive, are we destined to grow old?
Are we really the right strain to survive? We’ve got to redeem our souls.
We are the endangered species, we’re running out of time.
RECOGNIZE
Well, I’ve had enough of these selfish crimes.I hurt myself again, not knowing why.
It seems so easy to leave it all behind
And avoid the truth, I think I’d rather just go blind.
Then everything erupts, my life has come unglued
And the ties that bind have left me, what am I to do?
Can’t seem to recognise that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see? Who’s looking back at me?
Can’t focus through the grey and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer.
I think I’m cracking up, like I’ve lost my mind.
I hurt myself again, still don’t know why.
I end up the same way each and every time.
I can’t avoid the truth, there’s just nowhere to run and hide.
Then everything erupts, just like I knew it would,
Been down here long enough, it never felt that good.
Is this what I’ve become? My life has come unglued
And the ties that bind have left me, what am I to do?
Can’t seem to recognise that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see? Who’s looking back at me?
Can’t focus through the grey and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now.
There must be someone I can see.
There’s got to be something for me, show it now, let it go free.
I know it’s there waiting on me, let it out, let it go free.
WAIT FOR ME
All these miles, haunting questions linger in my mind,And all the while, making bad decisions out of line.
Still I’ve tried to let go of the danger in my life.
It’s alright when that’s the only thing I’ve left behind, and there’s still time.
Wait for me, there’s so much more of life for us to see.
You must believe it’s not because of you I’ve had to leave.
Wait for me, I only hope that you’ll remember me.
At this time I’m counting all the reasons I should stay.
Bottom line, I’m missing all the things I gave away.
I remind and see your faces every single day.
Still I’m blind, I wish that there was something I could say to make things right.
Wait for me, there’s so much more of life for us to see.
You must believe it’s not because of you I’ve had to leave.
Wait for me, I only hope that you’ll remember me.
Just hold on a little bit longer, thoughts and memories will be enough.
My need for you is only growing stronger, I know you don’t understand it much,
But it doesn’t mean I have to care about you any less, it doesn’t have a thing to do with that.
There’s still so many questions that are gonna be addressed,
I’m sorry that it had to be like this.
But there’s still time to make things right.
MANY FACES
Will it take some time to release this inner apathy?Enabled inside, and it looks like you’re the enemy.
Things are never what they seem, can’t explain the reasons why,
The illusions that we see, the many faces of our lives.
When you find it hard to breathe, never keep it all inside.
Which one should I be, the many faces of our lives?
Irrelevant minds, you become a little more serious.
Still passing me by, you should not be rightly dear to us.
Things are never what they seem, can’t explain the reasons why,
The illusions that we see, the many faces of our lives.
When you find it hard to breathe, never keep it all inside.
Which one should I be, the many faces of our lives?
And if you feel that the timing is all wrong,
Here’s the key to remove yourself from harm,
Maybe then you will live again.
Things are never what they seem, can’t explain the reasons why,
The illusions that we see, the many faces of our lives.
When you find it hard to breathe, never keep it all inside.
Which one should I be, the many faces of our lives?
I’m afraid we’re in too deep, things are never what they seem.
I’m afraid we’re just too deep to come out okay.
ALL THE WORST
How do we deal with this? How do we clean up all this mess?Will there be a future for the latest generation?
Running around, believing the sound,
Is anything loud enough for us to decipher?
Making a stand, extending our hand, we must understand,
It’s the least we can offer those less fortunate than us.
There’s something about this place, it brings out all the worst.
Our history’s been disgraced, who will destroy who first?
Balling up my fists, waiting here defenceless isn’t pacifist,
It’s ignorant, and cannot be allowed.
Maybe it’s here or maybe it’s there,
We’re never aware of just how safe we are.
Could it be them or could it be us,
Unable to trust the information that we need?
There’s something about this place, it brings out all the worst.
Our history’s been disgraced, who will destroy who first?
(This time will we all live on?)
If hurting still exists, make it go away,
The problems that are plaguing you and I the same.
Causing it to stay, counting down the days,
It’s eating at the very core of us.
There’s something about this place, it brings out all the worst.
Our history’s been disgraced, who will destroy who first?
There’s something wrong with this place.
YOU’VE CHANGED
We’ve been through this before.Compromise with me, agree right now.
Useless cries, I’m telling you just how
Paralysed, there’s nothing I can do.
I realise I liked the other you.
You’ve changed, everything about you is strange.
Look at yourself, you’ve changed.
With the facts in your face, it’s causing conflict.
Hypnotised by all your complex games,
Sacrifice, my own opinions change.
Justify just why to stay with you,
I can’t see why, nothing else for me to do.
It makes no sense, putting ourselves through all this,
At my expense, don’t I deserve much less?
It’s way past time to right the wrong we’re in,
The bottom line, no way that we can win.
You’ve changed, everything about you is strange.
Look at yourself, you’ve changed.
With the facts in your face, it’s causing conflict.
(You brought it all, all on yourself, you’re strange to me.)
You brought on all this mess, my needs were not addressed,
You caused so much distress, this much you must admit.
You’ve changed, everything about you is strange.
Look at yourself, you’ve changed.
With the facts in your face, it’s causing conflict.
I’m not the one who changed.
TURN THE TABLES
Full assistance to those who bear it all,Unable to fall, waiting patiently, backs against the wall.
Not allowing the weak to dictate when it’s our turn to recover.
If your experiences don’t compare, just turn the tables,
And stop acting like you really care, if you’re not stable.
Full resistance to those who care at all,
Directing the call, it’s consuming us, backs against the wall.
Convincing the meek to dictate all their actions on command
And eviction to those who swear it all,
Fit to befall the false memory, facts begin to stall,
Permitting the bleak existence, this is our time to discover.
If your experiences don’t compare, just turn the tables,
And stop acting like you really care, if you’re not stable.
There will come a time for us to change things,
And I will never strike at you again, I will try to learn to make amends.
You will never lessen who I am.
Don’t be sheltered, show me where you’ve been.
If your experiences don’t compare, just turn the tables,
And stop acting like you really care, if you’re not stable.
Becoming yourself now, achieving what you allow,
Don’t take it out on us all.
WORLDS DIVIDE
Lost in these times, it’s hard to make up our minds,This is the reason we’re convicted for our crimes.
So we wait, scars on our face,
They show the importance of finding a way to leave this place,
But then we’re left with nothing substantial to hold
And I’m afraid that our stories will never be told.
Some people carry on, some just stay right where they are.
I’d rather move along, knowledge is not very far.
Our worlds divide the sight.
When innocence dies, it tends to shake up your life.
Let it consume you and then leave it all behind.
I need escape from the choices we made
And the feelings of longing that are standing in our way,
But then we’re left with nothing substantial to hold
And I’m afraid that our stories will never be told.
Some people carry on, some just stay right where they are.
I’d rather move along, knowledge is not very far.
Our worlds divide the sight.
Don’t give up on hope, don’t give up because it’s hope that binds us, pain that guides us.
Who do we trust when these things remind us?
Its hope that guides us, pain that binds us.
Who do we trust when they’re not behind us?
Now you are just where you belong.
Take all this hope, it makes you strong.
DECIDE
Doesn’t it make you nervous? At least you could have tried.And if it doesn’t disturb us, couldn’t we just sit by
And make a pact to ignore it, all of our secret needs
Becoming connected further, giving a life to feed on?
You let them decide the course of my life,
And you just stood by, you threw me aside.
Isn’t it overwhelming, living a lie inside?
Causing so many problems, hoping to just get by.
When will it all be over, what would I have you say?
But you won’t have to trouble yourself for me that way.
You let them decide the course of my life,
And you just stood by, you threw me aside, you let them decide.
Didn’t mean to complicate tomorrow, didn’t have to make you feel that way,
Didn’t come to irritate your morals, but then you pushed me far away.
Didn’t mean to complicate tomorrow, didn’t have to make you feel that way,
Didn’t come to irritate your morals, why did you push me far away?
I just can’t see why you neglected to try
To move on with our lives, when we shared the goodbye.
You let them decide the course of my life,
We shared the goodbye and you threw me aside.
You’ll never make that choice again, no, not again.
Will you affect my life again?
FINAL CRY
Forging a difference, we summon existence, this distance is not what it seems.Painstaking process, it pulls at our instincts, we’re living outside of our means.
So long I’ve hoped to be strong, down-sloped.
And the damage will commence, the beginning of the end.
All these occurrences bring me to life.
All that I’ve sacrificed makes it seem right.
Don’t underestimate how hard I’ll try, this is our final cry.
Placing a marker on what I must offer, it’s slowly becoming unfair.
Will I recover from being pulled under? I’m desperate and gasping for air.
So long I’ve hoped to be strong, down-sloped.
This is not anything that came from me, you have embedded it within my seed,
All of my memories are blending in, now the real damage will begin.
And the damage will commence, the beginning of the end.
All these occurrences bring me to life.
All that I’ve sacrificed makes it seem right.
Don’t underestimate how hard I’ll try, this is our final cry.
It’s the beginning of the end.
NOT ENOUGH
Wake up your life, you may never get the chance to make things right.Rather than lie, take a moment to reflect on what’s gone by.
It’s a mistake, there’s no reason I should be so full of guilt.
Significant break, so you severed all the ties that we have built.
(all I know, even though)
I tried to give you what was left of me, but it was not enough.
I didn’t think about the rest of me, that it was not enough.
I tried my hardest with the best of me, but it was not enough.
Tried to give you what was left of me, but it was not enough.
All mixed up inside and it’s easy to forget what we should be.
It’s useless to hide, I can see to the heart of your insecurity.
All of this time, blaming others for the cause of what we’ve lost.
Nothing sublime, I must overcome no matter what the cost.
(all I know, even though)
I tried to give you what was left of me, but it was not enough.
I didn’t think about the rest of me, that it was not enough.
I tried my hardest with the best of me, but it was not enough.
Tried to give you what was left of me, but it was not enough.
Please give back what is not yours to have, it’s the only thing that I’ve got left.
Never was enough to satisfy, and I’m left empty.
