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 have
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 have
Just to say that you’ve won
You’ve won
And now you’ve won
I gave you all
I gave you all
