no surrender in the House of Leaves

(album: I Am - 2019)

The silence holding the space before breath
Is haunting enough, I've had enough
The sirens screaming inside my fortress
Is deafening enough, they're calling my bluff

And I swear to you
I'm not the devil
I'm not the devil
And I swear to you
I'm not the devil
It's just the revel inside my head

Surrender to the house of leaves
The king is dead, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)
Defender of the fallen me
And it's okay, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)

And I swear to you
I'm not the devil
I'm not the devil
And I swear to you
I'm not the devil
It's just the settling of my dread

Surrender to the house of leaves
The king is dead, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)
Defender of the fallen me
And it's okay, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)

Oh, little one
Please carry on
Oh, little one
Please carry on
Oh, little one
Please carry on
Oh, little one
Please carry on

Surrender to the house of leaves
The king is dead, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)
Defender of the fallen me
And it's okay, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)

Surrender to the house of leaves
The king is dead, admit defeat
And carry on, little one (fine!)
I gave it all, yes all of me
And still I get no sympathy
So carry on, little one, bye
