It Is What It Is
Abe Parker
Talking to the wall 'cause, at least, I hear an echo-oh, oh-oh (oh, oh-oh)
Carrying my cross ’till my spirit has to let go-oh, oh-oh (oh, oh-oh)
Gave up finding one good reason
I'll stop trying to stop this bleedin', no-oh
Runnin’ out of all these alibis
(Do they ask me how I'm holding on?)
They can feel me cavin' in
And now all that I can say
It is, it is, it is what it is
All the things I couldn't change
I lay with someone else's sins
Let my soul just fly away
All the way up to heaven's light
I pound those gates with no reply
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
I feel everything and nothing at the same time (oh, don't slow down)
Oh, the pain is so exclusive, I don't even ask why (oh, but here’s your call)
You’re walking on the watеr that I'm drownin’ in
Thought I heard a whisper, was it just to win again?
Well, thе trail of blood, I'm followin'
(Followin', followin’, followin')
And if I'm the one to blame
I guess all that I can say
It is, it is, it is what it is
All the things I couldn't change
I lay with someone else's sins
Let my soul just fly away
All the way up to heaven's light
I pound those gates with no reply
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
(Yeah oh)
Oh, when I go numb, but I can't weep
Wake up but I don't sleep
And I did choose this hell
Oh, when I'm the one from under ship
Wake up but I don't sleep
If I'd seen me from myself, ooh-hm
(Hm-mm) it is, it is, it is, it is
Hm, yeah-yeah
And my soul's gone down, my words go dry
But you, alone, keep me alive
It is, it is, it is what it is
