Lyrics

  I know something's very wrong 
  The pulse returns the prodigal sons
  With blackout hearts, the flowered news
  With skull designs upon my shoes
  I can't give everything
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  Away
  Seeing more and feeling less
  Saying no but meaning yes
  This is all I ever meant
  That's the message that I sent
  I can't give everything
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I know something's very wrong 
  The pulse returns the prodigal sons 
  With blackout hearts, the flowered news
  With skull designs upon my shoes
  I can't give everything
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  I can't give everything
  Away
  I can't give everything
  Away
