lyrics

Deep-filled fascination
With an unexploded bomb
Single violation
Never given what she wants
Lying veil of mystics
Pointing out the way
Given all the precedents
It’s no surprise she took the bait

Understand the motive
Anticipate the course
Systems overloaded
Never function without force
The majesty of intrigue
The orchestra of fears
Played the game and bent the rules
Another option disappeared

Tied down, ever down
The gift you give, the gift you give
Try, try, never cry
The gift you give, the gift you give

Still life with emotion
No escaping what she’s done
Shackled by devotion
Trapped by protocol
Scraping at the surface
No deeper than the skin
Six miles down below the rock
You’ll never find the truth of him

All the skies are broken
All the dreams are sold
Nothing much to hope for
Nothing much to hold
Absence breeds resentment
Sickness eats itself
Without some substance filling it
Self collapses into self

Tied down, ever down
The gift you give, the gift you give
Try, try, never cry
The gift you give, the gift you give
Take pride in the high
The gift you give, the gift you give
Come down to the ground
The gift you give, the gift you give
