!! TIME TO GIVE UP !! (feat. Cryptic One)

Been shook and tattered up lately

No good and rattled up baby

So tired and shriveled up, mayday

Been shook and tattered up lately

View me

With hurt disrobed

Fall into my world

Forget the pain

Want strife to be gone

Don't know why

I don't know why

You changed and cut me up baby

So we'll split and move along blankly

Needing my love

You're needing it tough

I'm needing your love

But none is enough, no

Needing my love

You're needing it tough

I'm needing your love

But you can never give me enough of it

Needing my love

You're needing it tough

I'm needing your love

But you give it just to meet the quota

There's nothing left to be done

I thought you could be the one

But now it's time to give up

Been shook and tattered up lately

No good and rattled up baby

So tired and shriveled up, mayday

Been shook and tattered up lately

Lately

Lately

So rattled up, baby

Been shook and tattered up lately

Don't know why

I don't know why

You changed and cut me up baby

So we'll split and move along blankly

It's basic

I printed it on the dot matrix

Then put the paper next to the writing on the wall so you can face it, taste it

The calm before the storm

Soon the thunder rumbling loud

Trauma I'm accumulating like cumulus clouds

It's not hate that's precipitating, but there's a relation

And I'm awaiting for drier times but I'm losing patience

And once the water settles my head will be below sea level

I'm treading water with cement shoes and it's stressful, dreadful

This head full of dreams?

Same head full of steam

And sometimes things are precisely as they seem

S-s-s-system overload

I know the source of my growing woes

Warts on the toad, we're at that old tuning fork in the road

Divergent routes & open eyes to see the truth

And mute the root of these feedback loops

I'm out the plane without the parachute

The truth's a simple riddle love

Supply the answer with a simple shrug

I've given up

Your love was stronger than ever

Brutal yet light as a feather

Hurt me without even wanting

Jack in the box, innocent, daunting

Am I villainous?

Or will you imagine anything

That makes your world fit?

Though you tried

I know you tried

And I know you'll never find this true

But I wish I could have stayed with you
