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
