Lyrics
Give me the world, she said
just give me the word, he said
he'll try
she sighs
if fire could burn
inside the ocean she'd learn
she'd rather die
Swallow the flame
you'll find our lives are the same
they fall too shore
the tired stay
hungered and used
the ruthless cannot refuse
the victimized
I don't mind
the empty tears
your heartfelt lies
time won't bind
me to this place
Don't be afraid
you know I'll love you the same
it's only pride
decree decry
show me your face
eyes open
mind my disgrace
don't make it home
I don't mind
these paper walls
I cannot climb
I'll just keep them to myself
forgive me my doubt in you
but you've got to fight to remain whole
they've got you owned
quailing their words I'm scared
your thoughts are like birds
they'll fly away
I don't mind
I'll just keep to myself
Give me the world
she said
