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
