Lyrics

I’m tired of these games, of hustling to earn affection
This illusion of choice, obscuring what is real
This false freedom is a trap, I’m enslaved to validation
A master of nothing, least of all myself

I’m laying it all down all my freedom and my willfulness
My palms are open wide, and I’m on my knees

Cuz it’s all yours
everything is yours,
it’s always been yours and it always will be
Take it from me, I return it to you,
just dwell in me and I’ll dwell in you
(just be with me and I’ll be with you)

My mind is weighed down with pomp and expectations

My identity consists of all that others make it

So take my memory, of all I’ve believed myself to be
I’ll fade into the grace of the gray

I’m laying it all down all my memory and understanding
All I have and all i call my own

You’re enough for me
You’re all I need
You’re enough for me
