Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah!
[Verse 1]
With the heart of a lion
And the fading faith of a mindless mouse
I was burying myself
Deeper and darker into the ground
Get out of the rut, my son
Your body wasn't made for this
You're gonna kill yourself, kill yourself
Kill yourself in your ignorance
[Pre-Chorus]
But you forgot about me
I thought the truth would set me free
God, I've been blinded in the dark
I thought you promised me a weight that I could carry
My back is breaking
I'm falling apart
My back is breaking
I'm falling apart
[Chorus]
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
There is a greater purpose
Your words were never worthless
Give it up, you're wasting time

Beartooth →Give it up, you're wasting your life
Nothing you brought is gone
You'll never come undone
[Post-Chorus]
We have one chance to be alive
We have one chance to be alive
Ah!
[Verse 2]
There's a noose around my neck
A dead body tied to my ankles
There's a stone crushing my back
And my wrists are bound in shackles
I have the end in sight
There's hope for another life
And let the sake of sacrifice
I'm not afraid to die
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you could finally see
I said the truth would set you free
You have been blinded in the dark
But now I'm promising a life that's worth surrounding
My back is breaking
I'm falling apart
My back is breaking
I'm falling apart
[Chorus]
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
There is a greater purpose
Your words were never worthless
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
Nothing you brought is gone
You'll never come undone
[Bridge]
Will you ever understand me?
Will you ever understand me?
How desperate do I have to be?
Oh!
Will you ever understand me?
How desperate do I have to be, be, be?
[Chorus]
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
There is a greater purpose
Your words were never worthless
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
Nothing you brought is gone
You'll never come undone
[Outro]
Give it up, you're wasting time
Give it up, you're wasting your life
Nothing you brought is gone
You'll never come undone

"I make anti-racist songs for anti-racists," he says.
Freshly sober and creatively fearless, Caleb Shomo has made a Beartooth album unlike any before it.
The new album is expected to drop later this year.
If 'Below' was Caleb Shomo's death notes from rock bottom, 'The Surface' are his postcards from recovery.
