I gave and gave, gave all I had

I took and took all I could grab

I had it all and I had none, and now

The game is over and it's all gone

My heart is [too] worn out to keep beating

My lungs exhausted by all this breathing

My mind's too tired to keep grieving

I was against and I was for

I wanted less and wanted more

I won, I lost; I lost and won, and now

It's all over and I am done

My throat is too sore for more screaming

My eyes too swollen for more weeping

My wounds are too dry for more bleeding

My blood too drained for more streaming, more streaming!

My heart is... my heart is... my heart is...

My heart is slowing down

My heart is... slowing down

Long short is life is short and long

Strong weak am I am weak and strong

My crop is ready for the reaping

My being ready for releasing

My heart is slowing down...
