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 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 colored 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 makes you draw your sin

(What shape are we in?)

And what makes it colored in

Is what makes your fragile heart

And what makes it fall apart

(Are we holding it all in?)

What makes you draw your sin

(So many miles)

And what makes it colored in

(Rushed down your throat)

Is what makes your fragile heart

(Rushed down your throat)

And what makes it fall apart

(You shrug it off)

What makes your draw your sin

And what makes it colored in

(All the way south)

Is what makes your fragile heart

And what makes it fall apart

What shape are we in?

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?
