Give It All Up

Of all the things I thought might do me in
I never felt that hope would be the one
Staring at the screen or at the wall or at the snow
Doesn't help me or anyone I know

The clock is ticking louder now
Acutely aware of the importance of its second hand's spin
Calling time of death, circling a date just weeks ahead
The end of the beginning of the end

Hate has so much power
It corrupts and it contorts and it devours
And I can't pretend any longer
I'm ready to give it up
Give it all up

Tide comes in, tide goes out
But why is the water so high?
Nothing I can do now but stand and watch the sun set
And breathe in one last time

Hate has so much power
It corrupts and it contorts and it devours
And I can't pretend any longer
I'm ready to give it up
Give it all up

Hate has so much power
It corrupts and it contorts and it devours
And I can't pretend any longer
I'm ready to give it up
Give it all up​​​​​​​​​
