lyrics

Wash away the overload,
My hollow head has no heart to follow,
Skin made of tin, I’m empty to the brim,
But my prospects are not, not so dim.

Hang me up to dry, on my own I will try.
You’ve said your piece, and I’ve made my peace,
I won’t recite your tale, nor walk down your trail,
I’ll sing my own songs as I set sail.

I’ve evolved out of your mold,
I was right, you were wrong to hold us to,
Your old rules of right and wrong,
Coz I was gonna go, all along,

You laid down your footsteps to follow,
But I can’t live inside your shadow,
I fell from the shoulders of giants,
Not destined for magnificence.

You broke your back to help me see,
The days slipping through the cracks, out to the sea,
I can’t catch the sand inside my palms,
But I’ll repay the time I ripped from your arms.

High time I caught the high tide,
And run my courses without a guide,
Give me time, give me trust, I’ll stand tall in growing up.
Give me time, give me trust, I’m on my way up,
I look up to you, so don’t look down on me.
Don’t give up on me, I’m giving all I can,

You give, up you go
You give, up you go

You give, up you go
You give, up you go
Give, up you go
Give, up you go
