Lyrics

GIVE AND TAKE
© Darby Bailey

I've got little tiny paper cuts
Running across my little hands
They bled and stung and took some time
To heal but when they did I took a

Blue flame
And burned in
The lines, the red, the cuts
I took a thick rope
And twisted
My palms, around, the root

CHORUS

Through the Give and Take
You give
You take
Away
Through the Give and Take
I've paid
It's now my turn
To give and take


I've got long but narrow scrapes and burns
Across my thin fore arms
They seized and ached and kept on shaking
Til they forced my hands release the

Red steel
That gave
The tracks, scraped, ragged shape
Took an iron gate
Forged a balast for my foot

CHORUS

I held on...
I held on...
Till the pain just wouldn't come
I held on..
Through the fire
Through the yanking
Through the tired..

CHORUS
