Defeated Lyrics
Here I've been going over reasons
And you keep looking over my shoulder
Hold me now to these promises I haven't made
Time will tell just how much you'll act on what you've said
Either way, my mind's been made up for me
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Even when, resisting instinctively
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling defeated
I've been exhausted for too long
Wide open, so listen
When you keep charging
This blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
My blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
Our blood has a beat that's running out
Either way, we're treating this carelessly
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Even when, resisting instinctively
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling defeated
I'm too exhausted for the long haul
And I'm kneeling defeated
And you keep looking over my shoulder
Hold me now to these promises I haven't made
Time will tell just how much you'll act on what you've said
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Even when, resisting instinctively
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling defeated
Wide open, so listen
When you keep charging
This blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
My blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
Our blood has a beat that's running out
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Even when, resisting instinctively
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling defeated
And I'm kneeling defeated

cant believe noone has commented on this song...its amazing!!
The final act of life. Giving up. Let them control you. Life'll be much better, even it wears you out with them in charge of you.
So. Just. Give. Up.
It's about how I feel right now.
It means what the title says Great musicality in this song depicts the war within one's self of choosing defeat
saw them live in cleveland back in fall '06 or so. it was absolutely amazing; when they played this, the room pretty much imploded with awesomeness.
