Giving Up Everything lyrics by Natalie Merchant

Giving up everything
My hungry ghost of hopefulness

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
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
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
