i gave you all

rip the earth in two with your mind

seal the urge which ensues

with brass wires

i never meant you any harm

now your tears feel as warm on my forearm

close my eyes for a while

rip from the world your patient smile

how can you say that your truth

is better than ours?

shoulder to shoulder

now brother

we carry no arms

a blind man sleeps

in the doorway

his home

if only i had enemies 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

rip from the world your patient smile

but i gave you all

i gave you all

i gave you all

and you rip it from my hands

just to say 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

just to say it's all gone

and you rip out all i had

just to say that you've won

you've won

and now you've won

i gave you all

i gave you all
