This Is Giving Up
Quelle: Spotify
He is a frail man, far too weak to hold a strong opinion
But it don't stop him from trying
He wears his skin around his bones around his guts around his need to believe
That all that is in him is all he will ever need
Complacent tendencies lead to stirring up cocaine dreams to make his memories
One hand in the cradle, the other in the grave
I'm tired of your assuring cause I knew you'd misbehave
As his mind shuts on and off, off and on then off again
He staggers through the hallways of his brain
Dragging any integrity he may still possess, he peddles his sincerity for failing ambition
And tries to plant the seeds to make it grow
I've walked far enough
My feet attest to a journey proven weathered
Our cigarette trails lead to where it all began
This is the part I tell you I'm through. This is giving up
Not once were you this hard to understand when you stood so promising
You were impressionable yet, inspiring all the same
But you gave up on your friends to find knowledge in a strangers arms
But what knowledge did you gain? what knowledge did you gain?
A strong pharmaceutical taste?
Strong beginnings led my expectations
Now, we both got it all wrong
You give and you get and I received less
I'm not selfish just trying to put my finger on it
We've been doing business not standing by
But I'll never stop asking for my friend to return
It takes a faithful man to trust his son's safe arrival
But my God afforded so much more!
Sin came pouring down as to paint the earth black
As I stood quite surely broken
"I know that you needed someone," a voice resounded, "just as he needs you."
"So, I'll take your hand and give you strength."
My God you, you never stopped. You never gave up on me
