    Today, with all going on in the world, this song was playing on my drive to work and I just started singing and screaming “I give up” and surrendering to my feelings. I think it helped me get through the day.

    I used to like the mornings
    I'd survived another night
    I'd walk to breakfast through the garden
    See the flowers stretching in the sunlight
    Now I wake up in the mornings
    And all the kindness is drained out of me
    I spend hours just wincing
    And trying to regain some sense of peace
    If only I could sustain my anger
    Feel it grow stronger and stronger
    It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
    Shakes off the weight of my sins
    And takes me to heaven
    I stay up late every night
    Out of some general protest
    But with no one to tell you to come to bed
    It's not really a contest
    And maybe you think
    I'll learn from my mistake
    But not this time
    It's just gonna break me
    If only I could sustain my anger
    Feel it grow stronger and stronger
    It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
    Shakes off the weight of my sins
    And takes me to heaven
    And if I've lost you for good
    Could there have been any other way?
    Was the water filling up for years
    Or did I wreck it all in a day?
    I'm going to bed now
    I've sunk into my sorrows
    And it'll take three hundred million dollars
    To get me up tomorrow
    I won't go down with the ship
    I will put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no more flags above my door
    I have lost, and I always will be
    It was an expensive mistake
    It was an expensive mistake
    My horse broke his back to get me here
    I have his blood on my hands for no reason
    But what was I supposed to do?
    How was I supposed to know how to use a tube amp?
    How was I supposed to know how to drive a van?
    How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself?
    How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself?
    How was I supposed to know how to hold a job?
    How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to play basketball?
    And how was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every
    Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and why not Sunday?
    (How was I supposed to know how to steer this ship?)
    How was I supposed to know how to steer this ship?
    How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship?
    It was an expensive mistake
    You can't say you're sorry and it's over
    I was given a body that is falling apart
    My house is falling apart
    And I was given a mind that can't control itself
    (And what about the pain I'm in right now?)
    And I was given a ship that can't steer itself
    (And what about a vacation?)
    And what about a vacation to feel good?
    My horse broke his back and left me here
    How was I supposed to know?
    And God won't forgive me
    And you won't forgive me
    Not unless I open up my heart
    And how am I supposed to do that
    When I go to this same room every night
    And sleep in the same bed every night?
    The same fucking bed
    Red comforter with the white stripes
    And the yellow ceiling light that makes me feel like I'm dying
    This sea is too familiar
    How many nights have I drowned here?
    How many times have I drowned?
    (How many times have I drowned?)
    I give up
    I give up
    Let us take you back to where we came in
    We were united, an undivided nation
    We got divided, it was something inside us
    And it was not us
    We were so naive, we were just like animals
    Told what to believe by the beasts who took control
    We wanted control too, but that was normal
    'Cause our life was one of survival
    The decisions we've made, if you can call it deciding
    With your life on the line, it'd be social suicide to change your mind
    So we got mad and we split the scene
    Now we download all of our shit for free
    It's the new economy, we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash
    I give up
    I give up
    Let us take you back to where you came in
    A man clinging to the cliff of revelation
    So scared of what he would find, he started crying
    "It was not me"
    Stopped at the borderline, they stripped his disguise
    So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize
    It was about death
    It didn't help
    He saw himself in it
    And he was disturbed at the conclusions that it led to
    But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too
    And so though he made fun of us, he has now become one of us
    I give up
    I give up
    I give up
    I give up
    I give up
    I give up
    I give up
    And you wake up trembling
    From a dream where I swam into the river
    I reach out and hold you in my arms
    I love you, I love you, I love you

    3:37 this. This is the part where I instantly go from being really sad to sobbing. I'm falling apart. I was given a mind that is falling apart. And now there's nowhere to go. I used to wake up happy. Now I can't see how ill even be able to get myself out of bed in the morning.

    This song is about learning to give up your pride and fears and just deal man. Everything that happens to you has happened to someone else at one point, so surrender to the current and become one.

      This song has been getting copyright strikes for years until very recently. I noticed that someone posted a music video for it and I used the copyright they put in their description in my description for this lyrics video, I hope it doesn't get struck down but you could probably try again now if you wanted!
