My Surrender

(Album: Your Starry Eyes Will Never Make Us Even - 2012)

Did you notice
The violence
With my hands inside your hair?
The black, the white, the coldest night
The conversation's over, and you could 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 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 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

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?

What makes you draw your sin?
And what makes it coloured in?
Is what makes your fragile heart
And what makes it fall apart

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 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?)
