Come back to this track every time I fuck up
how the hell was i supposed to steer this ship?
It was an expensive mistake
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
Best band of the last 7 years
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.
8:53 I love the little "wooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-oooohh" in the background…
the last 40 ish seconds make me cry every time. i love this song and this band so much
That monologue is really fucking good
masterpiece
Such a good song. The ending is perfect
this is so niche and brings tears to my eyes.
favorite song of all time I think
1:26
I like this song but I feel emotionally drained after listening to it.
good selection of font!
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.
Was on the costa Concordia
we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash
არ გათეთრდების ყორანი რაც უნდა ხეხო ქვიშითა

how'd you get this song uploaded? a while ago i tried uploading something with it and got instantly copyright claimed
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!
This was my 1st CSH song and I’m really fond to it🥲
