Surrender Lyrics

Is this what it takes to be happy these days

To feel loved, comforted, and appreciated

And I understood, even when I was young

That these dark shadows would whirl throughout your body

But not this badly

These scars were made from a soft mind left stranded

Left out, in the cold

The coldest of dirt, to suffer

But how should I reach you

With these arms out

Open up my palms

To seal an embrace

I'm not sure I can

Cause I love you

But I don't love the portraits you paint of yourself

With toxic, crippled brushes

Your blurred, slurred words and bloodshot eyes

It's the face of surrender

Don't let it show
