Turnover - All That It Ever Was Lyrics

Take what you've got, give it away. nothing belonged to you in the first place. if they're all us and we're all them, then it's like trading between your own hands. i thought i had it figured out. one day it all went missing. i spent the night stuck wide awake, my thoughts all so dissonant. started thinking maybe i was living wrong. i took my head off for the night, didn't want to believe it. i started spending more time being mindful of my breathing, sleeping on the floor feeling so withdrawn. since i was young i have been told how i should measure success. work hard and you can have a life of luxury and excess. i was walking blind when i tripped and fell. maybe it doesn't matter if i give you or you give me. i'm wondering if those are both different parts of one thing. really now it's all that it ever was. you and me thinking it's us and them. can you see that all the difference is pretend? you always get higher with someone else than if you try to climb up all by yourself.
