[English]

I got a warm taste and I'm fallin' away

God is decarded in a field

I got a calm space and it won't let me shake

Man, I'm so far from what's real

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

Just give me cold stares, give me polluted air

'Round and around we go down

A little truth or dare, euphoria or despair

Karma climbs quick without a sound

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

Karma climb, oh, it takes it out of me

Karma climb, a certain history

Karma climb, oh, it takes it out of me

Karma climb, oh, a certain history

Karma climb, oh, it takes it out of me

Karma climb, a certain history

Karma climb, oh, it takes it out of me

Karma climb, oh, a certain history

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

And if you don't know what you're feeling

You'll never know, go, give it away

Give it away now
