treat me like a doormat wipe me out

take my will and grind it into dust

youre free to do what you are told

until the rights to you are sold



you take away - i give you all

you take away - i give you all

you take away - i give you all i got



mandelay



relinquish what it takes to heal

relinquish touch and taste and feel

relinquish all i ever known

relinquish all and turn to stone

relinquish whats inside my head

relinquish all ive ever read

relinquish all that i enjoy

forget that i am just a boy

deny myself the simplest pleasure

increase the suffocating pressure

objects in the mirror are closer than they appear



you take away i give you all

you take away i give you all

you take away i give you all i got



mandelay



you take away i give you all

you take away i give you all

you take away i give you all

you take away i give you all
