Surrender Songtext
There's a hole in my chest
Knock me down, lay me to rest
Drown my thoughts with kerosene
Bring my fears to my sleep
I'm tired of fighting
Tired of keeping up this act
Now I'm a couple ties in
Memories are flooding back
So I surrender
Knock me down, lay me to rest
Drown my thoughts with kerosene
Bring my fears to my sleep
I'm tired of fighting
Tired of keeping up this act
Now I'm a couple ties in
Memories are flooding back
So I surrender
If it's war that I have waged
I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Lord, I hope I've passed your tests
Oh, I surrender
And it replays in my mind
Disappearing, leaving all this time behind
And they don't know I'm bleeding out
They'll just stand there, find a scar to laugh about
It's something unclean
Something lower than my worst
Don't give up on me
Unless I do it first
Oh, I surrender
If it's war that I have waged I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Lord, I hope I've passed your tests
And I'll be gone without a sound
When my heart fails me and I'm not around
Floatin' on the paths I used to cross
But something stops me, guess I've found
This story's end, it's all clear now
The only feeling bigger than love is loss
So I surrender
And if it's war that I have waged
I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Through fire and flame, my sins confessed
'Cause I'm tired as ever
I'm tired as ever
I'm tired as ever
Oh, I surrender
I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Lord, I hope I've passed your tests
Oh, I surrender
And it replays in my mind
Disappearing, leaving all this time behind
And they don't know I'm bleeding out
They'll just stand there, find a scar to laugh about
It's something unclean
Something lower than my worst
Don't give up on me
Unless I do it first
Oh, I surrender
If it's war that I have waged I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Lord, I hope I've passed your tests
And I'll be gone without a sound
When my heart fails me and I'm not around
Floatin' on the paths I used to cross
But something stops me, guess I've found
This story's end, it's all clear now
The only feeling bigger than love is loss
So I surrender
And if it's war that I have waged
I'll raise the flag
My fate is in His hands
I'm tired as ever
So I'll let it go
My soul and all that's left
Through fire and flame, my sins confessed
'Cause I'm tired as ever
I'm tired as ever
I'm tired as ever
Oh, I surrender
