Lyrics

0:29Giving up everything
0:32Not haunted by wanting this
0:47Giving up everything
0:51The fortune I was saving
0:56Giving up everything
0:59I mercy-killed my craving
1:15Giving up everything
1:18I've opened up my eyes for this
1:24Giving up everything
1:27See the whole magnificent emptiness
1:32Gave what I want for how it is
1:36For the stone inside and the bitterness
1:41For the sweetness at the core of it
2:06Giving up everything
2:09The master plan the scheming
2:15Giving up everything
2:17My cursed search for meaning
2:24Giving up everything
2:27The compass and the map I was reading
2:32The hinterlands I'm leaving
2:38I'm finally leaving behind
2:56Giving up everything
3:00The big to-do the hullabaloo
3:04The tug-of-war for some twisted truth
3:09For the everlasting ache of it
3:13No longer slave not chained to it
3:17No gate no guard no keeper
3:22No guru master teacher
3:31See the slow-receding faces
3:41Dissolve to black no traces
Giving up everything
Not haunted by wanting this
Giving up everything
The fortune I was saving
Giving up everything
I mercy-killed my craving
Giving up everything
I've opened up my eyes for this
Giving up everything
See the whole magnificent emptiness
Gave what I want for how it is
For the stone inside and the bitterness
For the sweetness at the core of it
Giving up everything
The master plan  the scheming
Giving up everything
My cursed search for meaning
Giving up everything
The compass and the map I was reading
The hinterlands I'm leaving
I'm finally leaving behind
Giving up everything
The big to-do  the hullabaloo
The tug-of-war for some twisted truth
For the everlasting ache of it
No longer slave  not chained to it
No gate  no guard  no keeper
No guru  master  teacher
See the slow-receding faces
Dissolve to black  no traces
