The Sound of Giving Up

Sittin parked in the driveway
Hidden on my own and
I've almost given up
Ridden hands over my face
Leaning on my door
When the demons interrupt

You're halfway there
And fine for the minute
I know you'll overcome
You're halfway there
And time's got a limit
And yours is almost up

When every minute heightens my confusion
Till I can feel the fall from space
How come you look so close like you're
Right in front of me
And if they say that time is an illusion
Why can you see it on my face
How come you look so close
But you feel so far away

How come you look so close
But you feel so far away
Hmm-huh

A brittle heart of a scion
With a will so strong
Not a god could tear it off
It all fell apart with the timing
Found a siren's song
In the sound of giving up
They sang

That you're halfway there
And fine for the minute
I know you'll overcome
But you're halfway there
And time's got a limit
And yours is almost up

When every minute heightens my confusion
Till I can feel the fall from space
How come you look so close
Like you're right in front of me
And if they say that time is an illusion
Why can you see it on my face
How come you look so close
But you feel so far away

(In my mind)
(The world is on my shoulders)
Hm
(In my mind)
(I know I'll never)
Ooo
(Keep it up)
(In my mind)
(We only all get older)
How come you look
(In my mind)
So close
(I know I'll never be enough)
Like you're right in front of me
(In my mind)
(The world is on my shoulders)
Oh
(In my mind)
(I know I'll never bring it up)
(In my mind)
(We only all get older)
How come you look
(In my mind)
So close
(I know I'll never be enough)
While a million miles away
(In my mind)
(The world is on my shoulders)
Oh
(In my mind)
(I know I'll never keep it up)
(In my mind)
(We only all get older)
How come you look
(In my mind)
(I know I'll never be enough)
So close

(In my mind the world is on my shoulders)
(In my mind I know I'll never keep it up)
(In my mind we only all get older)
Oh
(In my mind I know I'll never be enough)
I know it's over
(In my mind the world is on my shoulders)
But it's all I've got
(In my mind I know I'll never bring it up)
I know I'm halfway there
(In my mind we only all get older)
But I'm just not close enough
(In my mind I know I'll never be enough)
And I know it's over
(In my mind the world is on my shoulders)
But it just won't stop
(In my mind)
No
(I know I'll never keep it up)
A ringing in my ear
(In my mind we only all get older)
And the sound of giving up
(In my mind I know I'll never be enough)
Oh
And I know it's over
(I'm halfway there)
(In my mind the world is on my shoulders)
But it's all I've got
(In my mind I know I'll never bring it up)
I know I'm halfway there
(I'm halfway there)
(In my mind we only all get older)
But I'm just not close enough
(In my mind I know I'll never be enough)
Oh
And I know it's over
(I'm halfway there)
(In my mind the world is on my shoulders)
But it just won't stop
(In my mind I know I'll never keep it up)
No
A ringing in my ear
(I'm halfway there)
(In my mind we only all get older)
And the sound of giving up
Hmm
(In my mind I know I'll never be enough)

And I know it's over
But it's all I've got
I know I'm halfway there
But I'm just not close enough
And I know it's over
But it just won't stop
A ringing in my ear
And the sound of giving up
