Give Up

In a little while, she will call you back
And what you thought you had before,
will fade to black
But still, she'll tell you things, to make you believe
That this fucked up world, is yours to seize
So you seize every day

And each time you close your eyes to sleep
You dream yourself an amputee
Each time you close your eyes to sleep
You watch your core retreat

When she takes a breath, and her bosom grows
And your blood flows hard, 'til you lose control
And it throbs and burns like a fever,
that you can never cool
You both play the game.
But, she makes the rules
And she can break them, too

And each time you close your eyes to sleep
You dream yourself an amputee
Each time you close your eyes to sleep
You watch your core retreat

In a little while, she will bare her teeth
And she'll crown your head with a thorny wreath
And she'll call it "grace."
Then she'll bend you, she'll break you
She knows how to make you return every time
Cause she's put all her faith in you
losing your mind
'til it's hers to manipulate
Realize, you're just the bait

And give up!
Give up
'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose

Give up (pretending you're okay)
Give up (searching for lives to save)
'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose
(All of your roads are paved in tar
And there's not a star in your sky)
Give up
(She's breaking you down in her bile)
Give up
(Confusing her fangs for a smile)
'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose
(And she bites, and she chews, and she spits)
And you lose

Give up
Give up
'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose
Not yours to lose
