Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
These voices keep circling
My head is constricted
I’m floating in limbo
My brain is addicted
So feed me lies till I’m dead
Make me cry and crush my head
The monster is clawing out and I can feel her
But this time I’m ready, yeah I won’t stutter
I used to be so fragile
Every day was a losing battle
I’ve worked too hard to toughen my skin
I won’t let you take me over again
Am I scared? Ha...
Im always begging "Please!"
But you can try to pluck me clean
Cuz I’ll still be a tree if I lose all my leaves
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
Rip through me all you want
I may sit still, but don’t think I’ve given up
I’ve fought this battle for far too long
You can take this mind—over my dead body!
Worms dig deeper in my brain,
A thousand centipedes crawling in my ear
Hit me, I’ll reflect back it a thousand times
I’ll show you why I hide behind this mask of fear
You wanna see a monster cuz you’re brining her out
There’s no room in my brain for a strand of doubt
I got light on my side and my wings are shining bright
There’s only one way to get rid of all this blight
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
Cuz I’m not giving up!
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
Everything crashes down when I stand
I’m healed from the scars you laid with your hands
You’re learning the hard way that I’m in control
I’m taking back my life, the one that you stole
There’s a reason I lock these thoughts inside
There’s a reason I am still alive
You may flood my head with unwanted thoughts
But I have the power to make them stop
You hear that? It’s your last verse
Let it all spill out like you rehearsed
Over and over the dark has beaten
I’m suffocating and yet you hear me breathing!
You wanna know where my God is?
He never left.
You may flood my head with unwanted thoughts
But I have the power to make them stop
Let the flames devour all they see
While the tides shift in my sea
For I’m broken
Broken and bruised but I’m still here
I am the one who forges my path
I am the one reinforcing my spine
I’m broken
And yet I march
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
You wanna give up?
Cuz I’m not giving up!
tylt has been singing and creating music for as long as she can remember. It wasn't until recently she adopted the name
'tylt' because she believes that if she can't change the world's view on things, then maybe she can tilt it.
