[Intro]

Ah!

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

My back is breaking

I'm falling apart

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

We have one chance to be alive

We have one chance to be alive

Ah!

[Verse 2]

There's a noose around my neck

A dead body tied to my ankles

There's a stone crushing my back

And my wrists are bound in shackles

I have the end in sight

There's hope for another life

And let the sake of sacrifice

I'm not afraid to die

[Pre-Chorus]

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

My back is breaking

I'm falling apart

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Will you ever understand me?

Will you ever understand me?

How desperate do I have to be?

Oh!

Will you ever understand me?

How desperate do I have to be, be, be?

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
