Give It All (from Siren Song of the Counter Culture, 2004)
Break through the undertow, your hands I can't seem to find,
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak so I
Stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
Fill my lungs with air, then let it out
I give it all, now there's a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it's these reasons that belong to me
Rock bottoms where we live, and still we dig these trenches,
To bury ourselves in them, backs breaking under tension
For far too long these voices, muffled by distances,
It's time to come to our senses, up from the dirt
We give it all, now there's a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it's these reasons that belong to me
Breathe (breathe), the air we give (give), the life we live (live), our pulses racing distances,
(breathe) so wet my tongue (give), break into song (live), through seas of competition
So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice,
Is not what we had in our minds,
I'm coming home tonight, home tonight
We give it all, now there's a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it's these reasons that belong to me
Today I offer all myself to this I'm living for my dying wish,
I give it all, now there's a reason, there's a reason, to give it all
