[Verse 1]
Life is the reason
I'm still holding ground
Life is imperfect bodies and perfect sounds
Death is in season
And it's pushing me 'round and 'round and 'round
A bottle cap, a rusted crown

[Pre-Chorus]
When one pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out
One pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out

[Chorus]
This one makes you big
In a cruel world
This one makes you small
In a lonely world
This one takes it all away
All the pain
But I'm not giving up
Not today, not today
[Verse 2]
There's life in this tunnel
We're just hanging around
Please, if you see my hand, just pull me out
'Cause there's death in this tunnel
Still hanging on me
Still begging on me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when one pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don't know if I'll get out, if I'll be found

[Chorus]
This one makes you big
What a cruel world
This one makes you small
Feel that lonely world
This one takes it all the way
But I'll stay
'Cause I won't give you up
Not today, I won't
I won't give you up
