My Surrender - Parabelle

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?)
