Surrender - Emily Jane White

I felt the vines move within

I felt my heart bleed again

By not a stranger, by not a friend

And with its words it pulled me in

Out on the road, hailing to survive

Held by something that never wanted me alive

Shot the glimmer straight out of my eyes

Flowers laid bare for when I’m ready to lie in surrender

I watched it move from the ceiling to the floor

Was it you or it I adored?

A hypnotism impossible to ignore

The more I took, it took me more

Out on the road, hailing to survive

Held by something that never wanted me alive

Shot the glimmer straight out of my eyes

Flowers laid bare for when I’m ready to lie in surrender

I held on to the reins

Let go or be dragged in its name

And the clouds parted ways

And I looked back at you, set fire, set ablaze

And I walked down the streets for miles

A gaunt face held in exile

And I walked through the streets for miles

A gaunt face held in exile

‘Cause I was out on the road hailing to survive

Held by something that never wanted me alive

Shot the glimmer straight out of my eyes

Flowers laid bare for when I’m ready to lie in surrender

In surrender

In surrender

In surrender
