Give Me up to Love

A catacomb of sorrow is all I need

Recording in the darkness

Of walls that block out

The groans of denial

The tempers that reason with stone

An accentuated ticking

That even Lenny cannot stifle

It’s all about who you know

A card game of name fame

Obliterate your style and soul

You’re rejected by the mould

I’ll climb down the pit of vipers

Seduce the virile swords

My craft will take a test

Your love is what I yearn for

So night after night

This is how it goes

We get off the road and roam

So night after night

This is how we grow

We get off the road and go

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

Everyday I sit by my piano

And I write

‘Bout all the pain and all the stigma

I left behind

So quick you drop me like a fox

With its mouth wide open for more

Half gobbled up, blood soaking up

I’ve gotta go

So night after night

This is how it goes

We get off the road and roam.

So night after night

This is how we grow

We get off the road and go

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

It gets lonely

Fourteen on my own

Finding my new home

It gets lonely with this false guilt

So I’m giving myself up from you

So I’ll sit, write

Compose, prepare

My will, my life, I’m in control

Voice, rights, change, betterment.

Pave the path for future roads

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

You give me up to love

So night after night

This is how it goes

We get off the road and roam

You give me up to love

So night after night

This is how it goes

We get off the road and roam

You give me up to love

But I’m already gone
