I Haven’t Given Up (Version #2)

I haven’t lifted the gun

 

I haven’t lifted the drink

 

I haven’t lifted the razor

 

I haven’t lifted the cord

 

I haven’t lifted the drill

 

I haven’t lifted the knife

 

I haven’t lifted the rope

 

I haven’t lifted the drugs

 

I haven’t lifted the belt

 

I haven’t lifted the hammer

 

I haven’t lifted the fire

 

I haven’t lifted the blade

 

I haven’t lifted the can

 

I haven’t lifted the needle

 

I haven’t lifted the phone

 

 

But I will lift up this boulder,

this rock

and drag you out

from beneath this weight
