Lyrics: 

Why Not Take it All

Words and Music by Pete Hopkins

Let me make it easy, Let me make it clear, I am still here. Though you won’t see me, It doesn’t change a thing, I am still here.

There’s no use resisting, You can’t deny, The writing is on the wall. I’m through pretending, You have possessed me, Left me half of a whole.

So why not take it all? Why not take it all? So why not take it all? Everything is hazy, Locked within a dream, And I will be leaving soon.

Time enough to tell you, Tell you that I love you, And I will be leaving soon. There’s no use resisting, You can’t deny, The writing is on the wall.

I’m through pretending, You have possessed me, Left me half of a whole. So why not take it all? Why not take it all? So why not take it all?
