Give Totally Up

from Song Islands vol. 2 by Mount Eerie

/

lyrics

If you can manage to give totally up,
to go limp, to go tender
(surrender)
your body will hold together.
I know it seems like you’d be torn apart
be ripped up and rendered.
But don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!
Don’t believe them when they say
that you have to fight for what is right
or what you think is right
because if you manage to give totally up
you’re sprawled out in splendor.
Just try to fight that, raise your arms,
feel your muscles slosh around
your whirlpool center.
If you can manage to give totally up,
to be known as “Great Befriender”
or “Sender”
your loss, your endless loss,
will treat you to treasure.
