lyrics

It’s the very same question
always coming to light
Why I’m under an avalanche
Almost every night
how I can conquer a mountain
Before lunch is up
Then be smacked by an octopus
With a swift uppercut

And I know you get tired
Of my resting face
How I’m silently judging
What hasn’t yet taken place
So what if I just poured out
The pollution within
What it be even more frightening
Than the trouble we’re in?

Cuz what you know
Is only what I’ve shown
What I keep hidden
Has been burning up my skin

So I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away

For every word I say
There are millions I keep
They’re way too offensive
And mostly to me
I ask you for courage
I should give you the same
But my tongue gets so twisted
I sit quiet with shame

Now you’re giving me the eye
Like I’ve fallen asleep
I get caught in conversation
With memories I keep
Now I’m too busy thinking
Of the next perfect rhyme
To just be honest and messy
Okay, let’s be messy

You asked for the real
And I told you how I feel
I took a stab
I hope it didn’t hurt that bad

Cuz I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away last Saturday
I gave it all away
I gave and I gave
