treat me like a doormat wipe me out   take my will and grind it into dust   you're free to do what you are told   until the rights to you are sold      you take away - i give you all   you take away - i give you all   you take away - i give you all i got      mandelay      relinquish what it takes to heal   relinquish touch and taste and feel   relinquish all i ever known   relinquish all and turn to stone   relinquish what's inside my head   relinquish all i've ever read   relinquish all that i enjoy   forget that i am just a boy   deny myself the simplest pleasure   increase the suffocating pressure   objects in the mirror are closer than they appear      you take away i give you all   you take away i give you all   you take away i give you all i got      mandelay      you take away i give you all   you take away i give you all   you take away i give you all   you take away i give you all
