"Give It Up" lyrics - BEARTOOTH

With the heart of a lion
And the fading faith of a mindless mouse
I was burying myself
Deeper and darker into the ground
Get out of the rut my son
Your body wasn't made for this
You're gonna kill yourself, kill yourself
Kill yourself in your ignorance

But you forgot about me
I thought the truth would set me free
God I've been blinded in the dark
I thought you promised me a weight that I could carry

My back is breaking
I'm falling apart [2x]

Give it up you're wasting time
Give it up you're wasting your life
There is a greater purpose
Your words were never worthless

Give it up you're wasting time
Give it up you're wasting your life
Nothing you brought is gone
You'll never come undone

We have one chance to be alive [2x]

There's a noose around my neck
A dead body tied to my ankles
There's a sound crashing my back
And my wrists are bound in shackles
I have the underside
There's room for another life
And let the sake of sacrifice
I'm not afraid to die

Now you could finally see
I said the truth would set you free
You have been blinded in the dark
But now I'm promising a life that's worth surrounding

My back is breaking
I'm falling apart

Will you ever understand me?
How desperate do I have to be?
