The 78

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Discarded love today, and north will soon become

I lost too much today, so myth will never come

I threw my life away

And for what?

I blew my chances too

I see the bitter truth

I give up

Relinquish all connection, and be yourself for once

Distrusting insurrection, so thank yourself for once

I threw my life away

And for what?

I blew my chances too

I see the bitter truth

I give up

What seems so real today, will soon enough become

The thing you've always craved, surely now I've become

I threw my life away

And for what?

I blew my chances too

I see the bitter truth

I give up

I give up

I threw my life away

And for what?

I blew my chances too

I see the bitter truth

I give up

I give up
