Take

by Nick Gisburne



Take me to a barren, empty space
Take whatever dreams I thought were true
Take emotions, twisted on my face
Bend them, break them, tear them into two
Take the only hope I ever had
Take the light of living from my soul
Take my plans and prove that I was mad
Lock them in the darkest, deepest hole
Take me to the bitter end of this
Take it all, and give me nothing back
Take my love, so easy to dismiss
Drown it in a river, in a sack
    Take, because you only ever take
    I was always, only, your mistake
