"Given In," by David L. Riley
Stab me, shoot me
I don't give a fuck
The problem is we're all broken
And we're all out of luck
Everyone is damaged in their own way
My cure's right in front of me
But I keep getting in my own way
Everything is fucked up and we're drowning in sin
You see, I'll ever never up
But I think I've given in
In the crease, there is no peace
Bullets fly, and we die
While I keep waiting for a miracle
And feeling so miniscule
And everything feels so mercurial
Cause change is a whore
But I'm not something you can ignore
ANYMORE!
War is SOMETHING I asked FOR
You beat me until I'm red raw
Broken and damaged inside this skin
I won't give up
But I think I've given in
Tragedy is just destiny in a tattered dress
This world knows it's torture tactics
But you just out of reach
Works best
Everyone is damaged, everyone is broken
As the media fucks us and not a damn word spoken
About the decent, hate and global hypocrisy
We're all hanging on for grim death
As our hope becomes history
So many days
So many ways
To end it all
And fall into the haze
I don't believe in love
I don't believe in sin
And I'll never give up
But I feel like I've given in
Nothing ever works out
And She never puts out
But the world is nothing but a great big whore
And I'm down here cutting
Who could ask for more?
So let's start a war
And I am
The one
You can't ingore
Anymore
I pine for you
Like I pine for a pine box
I wish for this to end
As my stomach rots
Sinking in the tears I've cried
All tied up
By the knots you left untied
Life is a game
A game I cannot win
There's only shame and pain
I'll never give up
But I fear I've given in
