"Generosity" lyrics

"Generosity"

Remember we held you
Our bodies pressed against you
We required nothing more
Than what you provided for

The rings they tell me
How sickness befell thee
And all the wrongs we dealt thee
In spite of your generosity

It was all of my energy
More than I wanted to give
I am empty
I won't give more

Am I still invited to stay
I've worn my welcome
There was more before I came

We've eaten unrestrained
But now these green fruits will remain sour
These clouds we've made can not make rain

I gave you all of my energy
And you took it without thanks
You once showed such promise
But now I won't give more

I won't give more
(We just want more)
I won't give more
(We just want more)
I won't give more
(We just want more)
I won't give more...
