lyrics

Knew not a mother's love
I was a title fighter's son
Grew up on dissonance
Held on with Elmer's glue and handshakes
I fought every inch back to bed
Tooth and nail and tears I had wept
I was brought into this world for something
More than creating conflict

This is something that I've always known
Give up, give up, like it's all you ever knew
Like it's everything you wanted
Like it's everything you needed to embody, always

You've impeded your own way
You say that love is blind and requires no conditions
But every dial tone and callus voice build and insurmountable argument

This is how we all lay
This is how we all decay
This is how we sleep nightly, safe and warm
Without a stir, without a fucking sound

Give up, give up like it's the only thing you're here for
Settle down and dig your grave
