TAKE
Words and music by Anthony Beck
All content Copyright © Resonant Soul
I've been
thinking too much
I've been trying to do so good
Trying to be what everybody needs
Instead of being what I could
I've been staring out the window
I've been trying to bide my time
All these words are ringing in my ears
Think I've finally lost my mind
So lift me
up and take me in
Blind my eyes and slit my skin
Cleanse my soul and let me bleed
Cause I'll never be what you need
Take my hand and take control
Take my mind or rape my soul
I won't let myself grow soft
I will learn to turn this off
So don't
think that I don't miss you
From the blank expression on my face
Though you might not recognize me
Your memory I can't erase
I've been sleeping while I'm singing
Nothing penetrates this daze
Without you my life is thinning
I'm becoming everything I hate
So lift me
up and take me in
Blind my eyes and slit my skin
Cleanse my soul and let me bleed
Cause I'll never be what you need
Take my hand and take control
Take my mind or rape my soul
I won't let myself grow soft
I will learn to turn this off
Some
things you just have to live with
And some things I can't
