My Surrender

Did you notice the violence

With my hands inside your hair,

The black the white, the coldest night,

The conversation's over and you can bet it all,

And you shrug it off all the way south,

And you shrug it all off and leave it alone,

And my surrender, it keeps you from harm

And saves you for a life that's better than mine

So many miles rushed down your throat

And she sees through coloured eyes

All covered up with smoke

And all the fairy tales, it's the blinding light,

It's your shut eyes all covered and choked

And my surrender, it keeps you from harm

And saves you for a life that's better than mine

And your forever severs the storm,

The one that joined your eyes so steadily to mine,

And my luck's on the way,

But you came here and stole it all away

(What makes you draw your sin

And what makes it coloured in is

What makes your fragile heart

And what makes it fall apart)

[x2]

But what state are you in,

I think you're holding it all in,

And what shape are we in,

What shape are we in,

Are we holding it all in

So many miles rushed down your throat

Rushed down your throat

What makes you draw your sin

And what makes it coloured in is

What makes your fragile heart

And what makes it fall apart

And my surrender, it keeps you from harm

And saves you for a life that's better than mine

And your forever severs the storm,

The one that joined your eyes so steadily to mine,

And my luck's on the way,

But you came here and stole it all away

What state are you in
