i gave you all

rip the earth in two with your mind

and seal the urge which ensues with brass wires

i never meant you any harm

but your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearms

but close my eyes for a while

and force from the world a patient smile

and how can you say that your truth is better than ours?

shoulder to shoulder

now brother

we carry no arms

and the blind man sleeps in the doorway his home

if only i had an enemy bigger than my apathy i could have won

but i gave you all

i gave you all

i gave you all

close my eyes for a while

and force from the world a patient smile

but i gave you all

i gave you all

i gave you all

and you rip it from my hands

and you swear it's all gone

and you rip out all i had

just to say that you've won

and you rip it from my hands

and you swear it's all gone

and you rip out all i had

just to say that you've won

you've won

well

now you've won

but i gave you all

i gave you all

i gave you all
