Give Up the Fight is the eighth song written for "My Virtual Escape". It played in "dreaming."

Lyrics
When I first saw you, I knew

You poke a straight face

I sharpened my blade

Think no-one understands you

And when the lights fade

Fits of pure rage

You keep me at bay, in the way you say

We will keep in touch, thank you very much

She will take your name, she'll take everything

But I see you, you see

I've been put through the ringer, almost died

Got a grip and came out the other side

And I know it's easier to hide

Forgetting the fears that shape your mind

And I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed

Met my demons and lived where they reside

Though you think you're doing what is right

You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight

I'm always loving harder

It's never enough, I guess it's my drug

You've crafted perfect armour but

Let it come undone, don't let yourself run

Say it to my face, don't say you need space

You'll still get away, some things never change

I'd give anything, I'd give anything for

One more day to watch you leave

I've been put through the ringer, almost died

Got a grip and came out the other side

And I know it's easier to hide

Forgetting the fears that shape your mind

And I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed

Met my demons and lived where they reside

Though you think you're doing what is right

You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight

Give up ooh ooh

Give up ooh ooh

Put down your guns and give up the fight

Give up ooh ooh

Give up ooh ooh

Put down your guns and give up the fight

I've been put through the ringer, almost died

Got a grip and came out the other side

And I know it's easier to hide

Forgetting the fears that shape your mind

And I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed

Met my demons and lived where they reside

Though you think you're doing what is right

You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight

Give up the fight

You think you're doing what is right

Why don't you just give up the, give up the fight?

Give up ooh ooh

Give up ooh ooh

Put down your guns and give up the fight

Give up ooh ooh

Give up ooh ooh

Put down your guns and give up the fight
